It’s an unofficial home run derby at Citizens Bank Park as the Philadelphia Phillies drilled a bunch of home runs early in Game 3 of the World Series.
In the first two innings, the Phillies hit three home runs, becoming the first team to achieve that feat in the World Series. The first took place in the first inning as cleanup hitter Bryce Harper drilled a 402 foot bomb on the first pitch he saw.

Up 2-0, the second inning got off to a rocking start as Alec Bohm took the first pitch of the inning deep to get the solo home run and go down in history as hitting the 1,000th World Series home run.

Video showed Harper discussing something with Bohm before Bohm went to bat. Both players hit homers on the first pitch so clearly they knew something. Obviously, Bohm kept that little secret between he and Harper.

Three batters later, Brandon Marsh took a high-arcing hit that just barely cleared the wall. Regardless, it counted, and the Phillies went up 4-0 early in the game.

Social media took notice of the Phillies’ deep fly balls. The hottest team in baseball right now, the Phillies are looking to take a 2-1 lead with two more games left to play in Philly Wednesday and Thursday.
The last two pitches Bryce Harper has seen at Citizens Bank Park went for home runs that won the Phillies the National League pennant and gave them the lead in their first home World Series game in 13 yeras.

The Phillies are punishing the Astros more than Rob Manfred ever did

Just remembering the Nats fans who insisted to me that Bryce Harper could not perform in the playoffs

Just a reminder that Bryce Harper's arm is messed up enough that he can't throw a baseball or play outfield right now and he's still obliterating everything in sight.

Alec Bohm hits a homer in the World Series and sends CBP into a frenzy. Imagine reading that sentence in April. What a season for him.

I'm not sure if Lance McCullers Jr. is tipping pitches.
I am sure the Phillies are destroying the ones he's throwing.
Another home run, this one by No. 9 hitter Brandon Marsh.
Phillies 4, Astros 0

I miss the days when every fly ball hit to center field here was an adventure. Brandon Marsh makes it boring.

Man, good for Brandon Marsh. Heck of a story.
