After the Phillies secured a postseason spot with a win over the Mets on Friday night at Citi Field, the atmosphere in the clubhouse was electric. Even after most players headed to the team bus Dave Cash Jersey, more than half a dozen untouched glasses of champagne sat on a table in the middle of the room. The real celebration, however, would come on Saturday if they win again—because that victory would secure the team’s first NL East title since 2011. "It’ll definitely be a fun time if we win," said Alec Bohm, reflecting on the potential celebration. Bohm played a key role in Friday’s 12-2 victory, going 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs. His three-run homer in the fourth inning, his second in three games, helped turn a narrow 3-run lead into an 8-2 blowout. This was only Bohm’s second game back in the cleanup spot after being out due to a hand injury, which caused him to miss over two weeks. Bryce Harper praised Bohm’s resilience, noting, "He’s been doing great. He’s had to deal with a tough injury, and it’s important for him to give himself some grace. We know what he can do, especially when it counts." Before his injury, Bohm was a key contributor to the Phillies' offense, especially in the first half of the season. His performance earned him a spot as the NL All-Star starting third baseman. Following Friday’s game Jimmy Rollins Jersey, he is hitting .290 with 15 home runs, 94 RBIs, and an .810 OPS. Bohm spoke about his swing, saying, “It feels good.” Despite his success, he can be quite hard on himself, often showing frustration, like when he spikes his helmet after an at-bat. “I just need to keep doing what I did tonight,” Bohm explained. “It’s as simple as that—focus on putting the bat on the ball, limiting bad swings, and making the pitcher throw strikes. The more I put the ball in play, the better the chances for something positive to happen.” On the subject of handling frustration when things don’t always go as planned, Bohm added, “I understand that I’ve missed a couple weeks, and now I’m facing the league’s best pitchers. It’s not always going to be easy, and when you get good pitches to hit, you have to make something happen with them. That’s where the frustration comes in. But I know it’s a tough game, and I’m going to miss sometimes. You just have to keep working through it.”
