Daily News | Alec Bohm propels Phillies to 4-2 win over Marlins
’ 4-2 win over the Marlins on Monday night, manager Rob Thomson decided to try something different. He penciled Alec Bohm into the two-hole for the first time since May 12. Bohm has batted seventh for most of the season, but he was hitting .284/.337/.420 with 65 RBI. The Phillies had struggled to drive in runs. It was worth a shot.
The lineup change paid off. Bohm went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two walks. In the eighth inning, with men on first and second and two outs, he worked a 10-pitch at-bat to drive in a crucial insurance run, en route to a 4-2 lead.It was a highlight among an otherwise lackluster offensive night. Outside of Bohm, the Phillies’ other eight hitters combined for just four hits on Monday. They walked a lot — 10 times — but failed to make the most of those free passes.
But despite that, the Phillies managed only two hits off of Cabrera. They made some questionable decisions at the plate. In the top of the second inning, with no outs and two men on base — because Cabrera had walked them — Jake Cave swung at a changeup out of the zone. It was the first pitch he saw. He grounded into a double play.
Steven Okert entered in relief of Cabrera in the fourth inning, with runners on first and second and no outs. Cave hit a sacrifice bunt, and Rojas hit a two-RBI double to tie the game, 2-2. Bryson Stott hit a sacrifice fly to score Kyle Schwarber in the seventh to give the Phillies a 3-2 lead, before Bohm’s RBI single in the eighth.
