The Phillies will take runs however they can get them right now, and so they can thank the elements, somewhat, for doing their part on Tuesday night. A few big hits, some of which Citizens Bank Park’s swirling gusts helped produce, provided a jolt for a slumping offense whose six runs amounted to a series-tying victory over the Giants.
But the biggest hit of the night was not aided by the weather, and it was a huge one both for team and for individual. Alec Bohm, mired then in a 6-for-58, gave the Phillies a 4-3 lead in the sixth inning with a first-pitch line drive single to left-center.
