Bohm finishes 4-for-4 vs. CIN
Alec Bohm finished 4-for-4 with two RBI and a walk against the Reds on April 26 on Wednesday. It’s worth wondering if the Phillies might have another win or two if they had just left Bohm in cleanup spot, which is where he finished last year, to begin this season. He’s batting .337.430/.558 in 100 plate appearances. He did hit cleanup tonight, though that’s probably just because usual cleanup man J.T. Realmuto had the night off.
De La Cruz collects three hits
Elly De La Cruz went 3-for-5 with a double and three steals as the Reds topped the Phillies 7-4 on Wednesday. De La Cruz has finally gotten to ascend to the second spot in the lineup that he was expected to fill during spring training. and he’s batting .313/.412/.820 in 97 plate appearances. He’s stolen 15 bases in 18 attempts, and he seems like the best bet of anyone to lead the majors in that category this season.
