Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler says his Malibu home was destroyed by the wildfires ravaging California.

The California-born baseball boss was on the East Coast when the Woolsey Fire reared its head Friday — and heard from his wife, Lisa, who evacuated with their two sons, that their home was gone.

Kapler’s advice? To keep bringing awareness to the blazes and communities to come together.

“Keep talking about it,” Kapler told The Athletic in a phone conversation Monday morning as he drove to Citizens Bank Park for work.

“When you’re out in your community, talk about it with other people. Use it as a way to come together. I sent this text message back to people: Talk about it. Shine light on it. Raise awareness. Feel it.”
