{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm accidentally bloodied himself while taking out his frustrations on his bat in the dugout during the team’s 7-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels Saturday.
Bohm finished the night 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and saw his batting average dip to .251. The Phillies went up 2-0 in the first inning, but when Bohm struck out, he was miffed.
