Bohm and Harper lead the streaking Phillies to a sweep of the Nationals with 11
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Alec Bohm homered and drove in five runs, Bryce Harper doubled and had two RBIs and the Philadelphia Phillies swept their sixth series of the season with a 11-5 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday.
Kody Clemens had a pair of doubles and two RBIs for Philadelphia (34-14), which has the most wins in the majors. The Phillies tied their franchise record for the best start in the first 48 games, matching the 1976 and 1993 clubs.
The Phillies have won or tied each of the last 14 series, and they matched their season best from last season of 20 games over .500.
“Obviously a cool little landmark,” Bohm said. “But we also understand it’s a long year, and we’re looking to play our best baseball down the stretch.”
Bohm said continuing to stack victories is key: “You do that all year long and you’re going to be happy at the end of the year.”
