Watch: Alec Bohm crushes home run off of Jacob deGrom

The top of the second inning went about as well as possible for the Philadelphia Phillies in their Opening Day tilt with the Texas Rangers.

Looking to rebound after a disappointing first season with the Phillies, Nick Castellanos doubled into right field with one out. Two batters later, Alec Bohm hit a 385-foot home run to right-center field off of Jacob deGrom:

The first home run of the season belongs to Alec Bohm.

With Rhys Hoskins lost for the season with a torn ACL, both Castellanos and Bohm have become that much more important for the Phillies as they look to return to the World Series.
