Phillies Lose Arizona Series Despite Alec Bohm's Strong Return

The Philadelphia Phillies recently lost two out of three games to the Arizona Diamondbacks in a crucial series for playoff positioning. Alec Bohm made an impressive return from a shoulder injury, hitting eight times in 13 at-bats over the weekend, including multiple doubles, home runs, and RBIs, raising his batting average and providing a strong offensive boost. Despite Bohm's performance, the Phillies were outscored 15-13 in the series and struggled to capitalize with runners in scoring position. The Diamondbacks, fueled by Corbin Carroll's 30th home run and stolen base, along with strong pitching from Eduardo Rodriguez and Zac Gallen, secured victories that tightened their hold on a wild-card playoff spot. Arizona's recent surge contrasts with Phillies starter Aaron Nola's continuing road struggles and the team's inability to maintain their winning streak. Overall, while Bohm's return energized the Phillies, Arizona's timely hitting and pitching secured the series win, keeping their postseason hopes alive.
