Kyle Schwarber hit a three-run blast in the ninth inning for his third home run of the game as the visiting Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 10-9 on Tuesday night.

Schwarber's go-ahead homer against Chad Green (4-5) was his 31st long ball of the season and gave him a career-best five hits. He had six RBIs.

Daulton Varsho, Addison Barger and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit two-run homers for Toronto.

Guerrero had four hits and Leo Jimenez added a solo homer in the opener of a two-game set.

Toronto starter Chris Bassitt allowed four runs (three earned), 10 hits and two walks to go along with seven strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.

Philadelphia starter Tyler Phillips, recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, lasted two-thirds of an inning and allowed six runs and eight hits. He didn't issue a walk and fanned one.

Schwarber opened the game with a homer to right-center.

Toronto (67-73) answered with six runs in the home half of the first. George Springer singled and Varsho followed with his 18th homer of the season. Guerrero singled, took third on Spencer Horwitz's double and scored on Will Wagner's groundout. Alejandro Kirk hit an RBI single before Barger smacked his seventh homer of the year, a two-run blast, to make it 6-1.

Philadelphia (82-56) scored twice in the third.

Schwarber led off with a double. Trea Turner reached first on an error by third baseman Barger, then Bryce Harper singled to load the bases. A run scored when Nick Castellanos grounded into a forceout, and Bryson Stott stroked an RBI double.

Springer singled and Guerrero clubbed his 28th homer of the year one out later while facing Taijuan Walker in the sixth.

Philadelphia scored three runs in the seventh. Zach Pop hit Castellanos with a pitch and Stott doubled. Erik Swanson replaced Pop with one out and walked Brandon Marsh and Edmundo Sosa to force in a run. Pinch hitter Kody Clemens grounded into a forceout to plate a run, and Schwarber brought home another run with an infield single with Genesis Cabrera pitching.

Philadelphia's Orion Kerkering (4-2) pitched around a double in the eighth.
