Phillies finish homestand strong behind Bohm, Realmuto, Gibson and bullpen originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Phillies' first homestand out of the All-Star break was not a good one.
But it ended with something good.
A much-needed win. A much-needed series victory. A little dose of momentum heading into a four-game series at Pittsburgh, where a strong showing is imperative.
The Phils wrapped up their six-game homestand with a 7-2 win over the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday afternoon. The recipe for victory included some timely hitting, the ability to capitalize on some shaky defense from the Braves, a quality start from Kyle Gibson and good work from the bullpen.
