Alec Bohm made good on his promise of the night before, faithfully returning to his third base position and cleanup spot Sunday night as the Phillies topped the Giants 5-4. The night before, amid a game played in a relatively steady rain, Bohm was victimized by a second-inning swing in which his left foot seemed to slide a bit on the mud, and his right knee buckled to the ground. Bohm didn't answer the bell for a third-inning at bat — which materialized because the Phillies scored nine runs over the first two innings — a subsequent announcement saying he wouldn't return due to right hip “tightness.” While providing “protection” in hitting behind No. 3 bopper Bryce Harper, Bohm finished Saturday leading all of the MLB with a .364 batting average, and was tied for the National League RBI lead with Atlanta's Marcell Ozuna with 32.
