On Friday, Alec Bohm had a night to forget with a costly error, but on Sunday, his home run was crucial in helping the Phillies end their losing streak and hold on to their wild card spot.

Fifteen months later, on a hot September Sunday, Bohm found his old Milwaukee magic. And what it lacked in ninth-inning drama, it made up for as a much-needed pick-me-up, both for him and the Phillies.Bohm led off the seventh inning with a laser-beam home run into the Brewers’ bullpen at American Family Field. It tied the game, preceded J.T. Realmuto’s go-ahead homer, and started the Phillies to a sweep-averting 4-2 victory.

Just in case, though, Bohm got a pep talk Saturday from infield coach Bobby Dickerson. He played a flawless third base, then moved across the diamond to first base for the series finale. His defense, at both positions, has been much improved this season.The Phillies didn’t have a hit against Brewers lefty Wade Miley until the sixth inning, when Trea Turner’s hard chopper went off third baseman Andruw Monasterio’s glove.

Two pitches later, Realmuto crushed a cutter off the batter’s eye in center field, and the homer-happy Phillies had the lead.
