Alec Bohm

Bohm called his parents and answered a few messages. He reflected. Then, he went to work.

Bohm has tallied 1.4M more votes than the next NL third baseman, Manny Machado. He and his teammates are loving the national recognition.

Bohm deals decisive blow in epic game after rain delay in extras. "It was loud. It was fun. A lot of red. It was a really cool environment."

Good teams find ways to win. Great teams do it with their complementary players. Could Clemens play more in the short term?

No one has benefited from the Phillies' first-inning bonanza like Bohm. Almost half (14) of his 32 RBIs have come in the first inning.

The Phillies have always dreamed of this version of Bohm. Is it real?

The ejection occurred in the third inning after Harper appeared to hold up on a pitch down and inside on a full count.

Bohm learned to separate his offense from his defense and vice versa. It was a critical moment for his development. It freed him.

It's September, but it does not feel like everything is held together by duct tape as in previous Septembers. Yet the pen looks vulnerable.

"We wouldn't be here without them": The youngsters have a .783 OPS, the highest mark for 26-and-under Phillies hitters since 2005 to 2006.

Here's another way to measure the gap between them: The Braves have seven players who have hit 10 homers this season. The Phillies have one.

Taking stock of the Phillies' enviable bullpen situation. Plus, Ranger Suárez's sizzling inning and the latest on Alec Bohm's return.

After winning the pennant, this year was supposed to be different. Nope. The Phillies are 25-31 and face a similar scenario to a season ago.

If they lose Bohm, the Phillies would have to dip deep into their first base depth chart. A look at the internal and external options.

Bohm's play has encouraged the Phillies because it leaves all doors open. Plus, roster thoughts, minor-league updates and a trade revisited.

Last season, the Phillies finished fifth in stolen bases. But entering Tuesday, despite new rules that encourage running, they were 27th.

It's been a good three weeks for Phillies youngsters Brandon Marsh, Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm. Kevin Long and Kyle Schwarber are believers.

By sunset, Hoskins and the team had been given the grim news: a torn left ACL. His season — and, most likely, his Phillies career — is over.
