Phillies' Alec Bohm Hits First Home Run in Season Against Rays

Alec Bohm has shown improvement in his hitting, batting above .300 in early May, but had limited power until recently. On May 6, Bohm hit his first home run of the 2025 season, a two-run shot that helped the Philadelphia Phillies secure an 8-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Steinbrenner Field. This homer marked a potential turning point for Bohm, who has been consistent in contact but lacked power. The Phillies' offense was bolstered by three home runs from Bohm, Kyle Schwarber, and Nick Castellanos, with Schwarber continuing a strong hitting streak. Zack Wheeler also delivered a strong pitching performance with nine strikeouts over seven innings. The Phillies have won seven of their last nine games, showing strong momentum partly fueled by Bohm's emerging power.
