Bohm went 0-for-4 and hit .170 in the Phillies' Game 1 loss, which gave the Mets a 1-0 lead in the playoff series.

The Phillies fell 6-2 to the Mets after leading by one run for most of the game thanks to slugger Kyle Schwarber's home run and ace Zack Wheeler's nine strikeouts and 30 swings-and-misses over 111 pitches.
However, the game took a turn in the 8th inning as the Mets rallied against Phillies' relievers to claim the first victory.
