Phillies Defeat Twins 7-1 in Return to Field of Dreams

The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Minnesota Twins 7-1 on Thursday night in the first MLB game at the Field of Dreams site in Dyersville, Iowa, in four years. Kyle Schwarber hit two home runs into the cornfield, including a leadoff shot in the first inning and a two-run blast in the fourth, bringing his major league-leading total to 37. The Phillies hit three homers total in the game, while the Twins managed just one run.

The pregame ceremony featured 26 members of the Baseball Hall of Fame emerging from the cornfield, with loud cheers for former Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt and former Twins catcher Joe Mauer. Kevin Costner provided narration for the game's intro on Netflix. The game was played at a newly constructed ballpark with a capacity of about 8,000, adjacent to the farmland where the 1989 film was shot.
