PHILADELPHIA — As the wind whipped and swirled in the second inning at Citizens Bank Park, the last two batters in the Phillies’ lineup made manufacturing a run look like a breeze.
Alec Bohm stepped in the box with no outs and a runner on second base, moving him over to third with a groundout. Brandon Marsh, the No. 9 hitter, followed that up with a sacrifice fly to right field. The trips to the plate were productive.
Bohm and Marsh have struggled so far this season. They’ve been dropped in the order. But both players put together key plate appearances in crucial spots on Tuesday night.
