  • Alec Bohm goes 4-for-4 as cleanup man
    Alec Bohm finished 4-for-4 with two RBI and a walk against the Reds on April 26 on Wednesday.

    Advice: 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. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
