Daily News | Phillies offense explodes for a season-high 19 runs in a blowout of the Nationals
J.T. Realmuto followed with a flyout to center. Harper, tracking Realmuto’s ball, took off for third. It was an aggressive move, but an important one. He reached base safely and scored easily when Bohm hit a single two batters later.
With a 1-1 tie in hand, the Phillies proceeded to bombard MacKenzie Gore in the third inning. Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner drew walks.hit a single to load the bases. Harper grounded into a forceout that scored Schwarber, and Realmuto hit a single that scored Turner. This went on for a while. By the end of the inning, the Phillies had batted around and driven in six runs. Gore exited after 2⅔ innings. It was his shortest outing of the season.The Phillies did not let up against the Nationals’ bullpen. When the final out was recorded, every Phillies starter had recorded at least one hit. Five starters recorded multi-hit games, including Bohm, who went 4-for-5 with six RBIs, including his two homers.
In an 19-run day, this perhaps was the most important development. Bohm hasn’t shown much power of late. He started the season hitting .343/.421/.522 with three home runs through his first 18 games, leaving the Phillies optimistic that he’d found his power stroke. But Bohm hit only four home runs over his next 50 games — until Saturday.
His first home run came in the third inning, a 394-foot shot to left-center field off of Gore. His second came in the fourth, a 365-foot shot, again, to left-center field. It was his third career multi-homer game.
