Swanson capped an unforgettable day by singling twice, giving him 1,001 career hits, and scoring a run. He did it hours after his wife, Mallory, scored the lone goal as the U.S. women's soccer team beat Brazil for the Olympic gold medal.
"Probably a day they'll never forget," Cody Bellinger said. "His wife scores the game-winning goal in a gold match and he gets his 1,000th career hit all in the same day. That's a pretty special day right there."
Justin Steele tossed six innings, allowing one unearned run and six hits. The left-hander struck out eight and walked two.
Héctor Neris worked the ninth for his 17th save in 21 chances.
