Bohm collects two hits in loss to Braves
Alec Bohm went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday’s loss to the Braves. On a night where the Phillies managed only five hits, Bohm was responsible for nearly half of them. The veteran third baseman also scored their only run on the night thanks to a J.T. Realmuto single in the fourth. Bohm has now hit safely in six straight games and is slashing .303/.333/.470 on the month.
Ozuna hits homer in upset win
Marcell Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a homer in Tuesday’s win over the Phillies. Ozuna broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning when he blasted a 451-foot solo shot off the Phillies Zack Wheeler. It was the 37th homer of the season for Ozuna, who has homered in two of his last three games and now has six homers in the month of August. The veteran slugger continues to turn in another high-powered season and is now just four homers away from topping the 40 dingers he hit last season.
