Alec Bohm is an All-Star: Phillies 5, Cubs 3

All-Stars find a way to get it done. They come through on the road, they come through when their team is shorthanded. They find ways to tilt the game towards the W column for their club. And now, the official word has come down on what we already knew: Alec Bohm is an All-Star. No surprise that he made a difference tonight.

The Phillies got their first hit of the night when Edmundo Sosa sent a ground ball skittering up the third base line. The throw from Christopher Morel was fast; Sosa was faster. Whit Merrifield, however, didn’t have the same batted ball luck, and saw Morel swiftly turn two.
