Phillies' Alec Bohm Jokes Game 1 Comeback Win vs. Astros 'Pretty Normal for Us'

The Philadelphia Phillies have developed a flair for the dramatic this postseason, so it's no surprise Game 1 of the World Series saw them score six unanswered runs in a 6-5 victory over the Houston Astros.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm joked the comeback win was "pretty normal for us."

The Phillies have been tempting fate dating back to the end of the regular season. They lost six of seven games from Sept. 24 to Oct. 1, with four of those defeats coming against the Chicago Cubs and Washington Nationals.

A 13-4 loss to the Nationals on Oct. 1 dropped the Phillies' record to 84-73, one game ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers for the final wild-card spot in the National League. They rebounded with three consecutive wins to clinch a playoff berth for the first time since 2011.

Philadelphia's first playoff game turned out to be a harbinger for the rest of the postseason. Trailing 2-0 to the St. Louis Cardinals in the top of the ninth, the Phillies scored six runs.

Friday's game marks the third consecutive comeback win for the Phillies dating back to Game 4 of the NLCS against the San Diego Padres. They also became the first team in 104 years to win a World Series game on the road trailing by at least five runs and facing a former MVP starting pitcher.

Very little about the Phillies' playoff run has made sense. They were the last team to clinch a postseason berth, finished third in their own division and had 19 fewer regular-season wins than the Astros.

Game 1 starter Aaron Nola has allowed 11 earned runs and four homers in nine innings over his last two starts.

Yet none of it has mattered because the Phillies are three wins away from their first World Series title since 2008.
