PHILADELPHIA — Alec Bohm, 6-foot-5 with Adonis hair and a body type best described as a cardboard cutout of Superman, is incredibly soft-spoken. Standing in the dugout after a first-pitch blast in the second inning, with the bedlam it inspired at Citizens Bank Park still echoing around him, he smiled and shrugged sheepishly. In the time it took him to round the bases, the question had become impossible to ignore.
Bohm didn’t get to bat that inning, but he led off the second by homering on a first-pitch sinker. Whatever Harper had noticed and relayed to him — a tip, a tell, something from the scouting report that seemed relevant — it worked.Brandon Marsh must've gotten the message, too, because three batters later he launched a solo shot. McCullers Jr. had surrendered home runs to three of the first nine batters he faced.
“This is a guy that makes his living with his breaking ball,” Hoskins said. “It's a good pitch for him, it always has been, but he gets a lot of chases with it. And for the most part, I thought we just did a really good job of getting that pitch specifically in the strike zone. And then when we got some stuff in the middle of the plate, we just didn't miss.”
“In Philly they do,” Matt Vierling interjected to say when he heard that sentiment postgame. And he’s right.
