On Tuesday night, the spectators at Citizens Bank Park were anxious to start the celebration.
After Monday’s game was postponed due to rain, Phillies supporters were out in full force the next day, waving a sea of red rally towels to support their side in Game 3 of the World Series.
They didn’t have long to wait.
Bryce Harper smacked the first ball he saw from Astros starter Lance McCullers out of the park in the bottom of the first inning, giving the Phillies a 2-0 advantage they would never relinquish.
The Phillies would go on to tie a World Series record with five home runs on the night, with Alec Bohm, Brandon Marsh, Kyle Schwarber, and Rhys Hoskins all going deep in a 7-0 triumph, so it turned out that Harper’s blast was only the beginning.
The loudest of the night, Harper’s home run instantly sent the 45,712 people in the sold-out crowd into a frenzy.
But possibly the most intriguing play of the game was Bohm’s second home run of the evening.
Harper called over to his partner and spoke into his ear just before Bohm stepped up to the bat.
The very first pitch Bohm saw resulted in a home run.
Whatever Harper observed, it seemed to be of assistance.
When questioned about giving his teammate a good advise after the game, Harper recognized the occasion but did not elaborate.
Every time you have knowledge, you should be able to share it with your colleagues at any moment, according to Harper. Therefore, we have assisted one another during the whole season whenever I can.
When questioned about Harper’s top-secret advise, Bohm was even more evasive.
What was said by Harper?
Bohm said, grinning and getting a chuckle from the reporters, “Nothing.”
Did Bryce’s advice assist you in your at-bat?
Maybe,” was Bohm’s response. more grins
The Astros are just two victories away from winning the World Series, so it goes without saying that the Phillies aren’t eager in divulging any information they may have on them tipping their pitches.
We’ll do our best to follow up if they achieve those two victories.
