Alec Bohm - Enjoys four-hit afternoonBohm went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 13-12 loss to the Nationals.

ImpactWith his first career four-hit game, Bohm is now hitting .396 in his last 13 games. His average, now .244, remains less than impressive, but this recent stretch of success has Bohm looking more like the player who hit .338 in 2020.

Andrew McCutchen - Smacks grand slamMcCutchen went 1-for-1 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 13-12 loss to the Nationals.

ImpactThe veteran enjoyed a brief yet immensely impactful afternoon, pinch hitting for Archie Bradley to give the Phillies a 9-5 lead in the fifth inning. McCutchen has struggled with a .225 average this season, but he has hit .315 with 18 RBI in his last 17 games. While the 34-year-old's best offensive days are behind him, he remains a decent contributor and is unlikely to cede the starting left field job this season.

Bryce Harper - Launches 10th homerHarper went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs and two walks in Wednesday's 13-12 loss to the Nationals.

ImpactIt was the second consecutive day with a homer for Harper, who has hit .289 with three homers, seven RBI and six walks since returning from the injured list June 5. Though he hasn't quite re-established his dominance from the beginning of the season, Harper has still been one of his team's most consistent offensive players, and that the home runs are starting to come bodes well for him going forward.

Travis Jankowski - Homers in three-hit showingJankowski went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, three RBI, three runs and a walk in Wednesday's 13-12 loss to the Nationals.

ImpactThe outfielder received more than two at-bats for the first time this season and absolutely raked, leading the game with seven total bases and launching his first home run since 2018. Jankowski is unlikely to usurp Andrew McCutchen as the starting left fielder, but performances like these will certainly lead to more frequent playing time for the 30-year-old.

Josh Bell - Belts go-ahead grand slamBell went 2-for-4 with a homer, four RBI, two runs and a walk in Wednesday's 13-12 win over the Phillies.

ImpactTrailing by two in the sixth, Bell launched an opposite-field grand slam to give Washington the lead. Highlighted by a .228 average, the switch-hitter's offensive struggles are well documented, but he has hit .333 with eight RBI in his last six games, hinting at a possible mid-season turnaround for Bell. The 28-year-old has done the majority of his damage from the left-handed batter's box, hitting .253 with eight of his ten homers and 26 of his 32 RBI from that side.
