Bohm was the middle part of a back-to-back-back series of home runs with Bryce Harper and Didi Gregorius in the first inning to help counter the three runs scored by the Mets in the top of the frame. Bohm also laced a double in the second inning for his 10th two-bagger in only his 34th career game.

Hiura gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead with his long ball off Adam Wainwright in the first. The homer was the second baseman's 13th of the season and it brought his RBI count to 32. He will try and make it three games in a row with a homer during the nightcap of the twin bill.

Pete Alonso 1B | BAL
Mets' Pete Alonso: Not starting Wednesday
Alonso is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Alonso finds himself on the bench for the fourth time this season. That's not a high number by any means, though it's higher than one would have expected giving his fantastic .260/.358/.583 slash line as a rookie. He hasn't come close to matching that this year, however, hitting .216/.318/.433. Dominic Smith will be the first baseman Wednesday, with J.D. Davis serving as the designated hitter.

Freeman is slashing a monstrous .500/.559/1.033 through his past 30 at-bats, including 14 RBI. He has reached base safely in 31 consecutive contests and is rapidly building a candidacy for MVP consideration.

Keston Hiura 2B | LAD
Brewers' Keston Hiura: Launches 12th home run
Hiura went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk while recording four total RBI in the Brewers' 18-3 Tuesday night victory over the Cardinals.
Hiura was a lowly 2-for-17 with one RBI over his previous six games prior to Tuesday's strong showing. The Brewers offense has been feast or famine of late, scoring a combined seven runs in five games in between 19- and 18-run outbursts. Part of the volatility stems from Hiura, who is among the worst in the league in strikeout percentage.

Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Plates two in loss
Goldschmidt went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a walk during the Cardinal's 18-3 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.

Kole Calhoun 1B | CLE
Diamondbacks' Kole Calhoun: Clobbers former team
Calhoun went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and five RBI against the Angels on Tuesday.
Calhoun, who played for the Angels from 2012-2019, hit a two-run home run in his first at-bat as a visitor at Angel Stadium in the first inning. He followed that with a three-run shot in the third inning to account for a season-high five RBI. Despite hitting only .209 this season, Calhoun has provided a much-needed power bat for Arizona, pacing the team with 11 home runs and ranking second with 29 RBI.
