Alec Bohm's standout performance, including a crucial home run, helped lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs, extending their record to 57-29, the best in baseball. Bohm's success this season, leading the league in RBI and earning a starting spot in the All-Star Game, reflects his dedication and growth as a player, according to manager Rob Thomson. The Phillies' catching duo of Rafael Marchan and Garrett Stubbs have also stepped up in J.T. Realmuto's absence, contributing both offensively and defensively. Despite a strong outing by Zack Wheeler, the game remained tense until Bohm and Turner's crucial hits in the eighth inning secured the win. With Wheeler in contention for the Cy Young award and the team's consistent performance, the Phillies are poised for continued success as they aim for their 10th sweep of the season.
