    Phillies' Bohm keeps on ticking against Giants

    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.
