How many runs did Philadelphia score in the first inning of the 2026 MLB Field of Dreams Game?

The story behind the answer

Philadelphia scored two runs in the first inning of the 2026 MLB Field of Dreams Game.

The Phillies immediately established a lead against Minnesota by scoring twice in the opening frame. They never surrendered that advantage and eventually defeated the Twins 7–1.

Philadelphia’s first-inning production was part of a spread-out offensive performance. The Phillies added three runs in the fourth inning and two more in the seventh, producing their seven-run total without needing a late rally.

Kyle Schwarber began the game with a home run, launching a fastball from Twins starter Taj Bradley into the corn beyond right field. That leadoff homer is often the most memorable first-inning moment, but the inning’s official run total was two because another Philadelphia run also scored.
