Alec Bohm’s reset may have worked.

After sitting the previous two games, Bohm returned Saturday night and exploded for two homers, three hits, and four RBI as the Phillies rolled past the Rockies, 9-3.

Trea Turner finished 4-for-4, while Kyle Schwarber added his 14th homer.

For a few minutes Friday night, Citizens Bank Park felt completely alive again.

The Phillies looked dead early after Jesús Luzardo struggled through a brutal fourth inning and Colorado built a six-run lead. They didn’t have a runner reach second base until the fifth inning.

Then everything changed.

Kyle Schwarber launched the 200th home run of his Phillies career. Brandon Marsh extended his hitting streak to 10 games. Bryson Stott ripped a two-run double in the eighth.

And then Justin Crawford delivered a moment he’ll remember forever.

With two outs in the eighth inning, Crawford crushed the first home run of his major-league career — a game-tying two-run shot into right-center field that sent Citizens Bank Park into chaos.

After the game, Crawford said he was able to track down the baseball, trading a signed bat and taking photos in exchange for the keepsake.

The Phillies ultimately fell 9-7 in 11 innings, but for one inning Friday night, the ballpark got a glimpse of what the future might look like.

Justin Crawford hit his first MLB homer to cap a Phillies comeback, but Jesús Luzardo’s struggles doomed them in a loss to Colorado.

“Rooster” echoed through Citizens Bank Park.

Zack Wheeler was back.

And by the eighth inning, the Phillies were rolling again.

Sosa delivered the go-ahead hit, García homered, and the Phillies rallied past the A’s for their fourth straight win.

Zack Wheeler impressed in his Citizens Bank Park return as the Phillies erased a late deficit to beat the Athletics 6-3.

For decades, Philadelphia was one of America’s true two-team baseball cities.

Long before the Phillies stood alone, the Philadelphia Athletics helped shape the city’s identity, building dynasties under Connie Mack and creating a baseball culture unlike almost anywhere else in the country.

With the Athletics back in town this week, we revisited what Philadelphia’s baseball life once looked like — and what the city may have lost when the A’s left after the 1954 season.

Before the Phillies stood alone, Philadelphia was home to both the Phillies and Athletics, creating one of baseball’s richest eras.

It only took one swing — and one vintage performance.

Bryce Harper homered and went 3-for-4, while Aaron Nola delivered six scoreless innings as the Phillies edged the Marlins, 1-0, to take three of four in Miami.

Six wins in seven games. A bullpen that held. And a team that suddenly looks… steady.

Something might be building here.

Bryce Harper homers and Aaron Nola dominates as Phillies edge Marlins 1-0, taking three of four in Miami behind elite pitching.
