PHILADELPHIA -- Looking for any kind of jolt for a slumping offense, the Philadelphia Phillies benched All-Star third baseman Alec Bohm for Game 2 of the NL Division Series.
Bohm is healthy but in a funk after a 0 for 4 outing in a 6-2 Game 1 loss to the New York Mets in which he slammed his helmet in frustration after another empty at-bat.
Edmundo Sosa got the start at third base Sunday against Mets starter Luis Severino.
"I wanted to get some energy in the lineup with Sosa, he's kind of our energy guy," manager Rob Thomson said ahead of Game 2.
