Kyle Schwarber mashed the first pitch in the bottom of the first inning almost 435 feet for a home run — and a needed instant lift for a Phillies franchise again counting on a managerial change to spark the team into a long-shot run into the playoffs.

Schwarber and Bryce Harper each homered twice and Philadelphia won in interim manager Rob Thomson’s debut, 10-0 over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.

"I had a little more anxiety leading up to the game dealing with all the stuff, all the meetings," Thomson said. "Once we got to the game, I felt OK. It was normal."Phillies fans react to firing of manager Joe Girardi Trout received a warm ovation in his first game in Philadelphia since 2014 and signed autographs before the game for swarms of fans. A diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan, Trout said he lost count of how many Millville, New Jersey, natives traveled to Citizens Bank Park to see him. Trout said before the game he wanted to "enjoy tonight, see some familiar faces.""I’m sore but I can’t miss this series," he said.

Schwarber put a fast end to Trout and the Angeles’ enjoyment. He hit a leadoff homer against Chase Silseth . "It looks terrible, I know that," Angels manager Joe Maddon said. "When you’re not hitting like that, it looks like you’re lifeless. It kind of appears to be that way. But when you’re not hitting, a lot of things look wrong."
