The Phillies showed up in numbers at the 2024 MLB All-Star Game. Even though 2 Phillies players were inactive, Zack Wheeler and Ranger Suarez, 6 more still took the field, including 3 in the starting lineup. Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, and Alec Bohm started. Jeff Hoffman, Matt Strahm, and Cristopher Sanchez all pitched out of the bullpen.

Phillies Stand Out At The 2024 MLB All-Star Game
![ARLINGTON, TEXAS - JULY 15: (L-R) Trea Turner #7, Bryce Harper #3, Matt Strahm #25 and Jeff Hoffman #23 of the Philadelphia Phillies look on from the outfield during Gatorade All-Star Workout Day at Globe Life Field on July 15, 2024 in Arlington, Texas. 2024 MLB All-Star Game](https://975thefanatic.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2024/07/GettyImages-2162171708_1721241420_.jpg?w=1024)
The NL did not win. But that is not because of anything the Phillies players did. All 6 of them did their parts. Including a double by Harper, a great defensive play and a hit by Turner, plus Bohm got a hit as well. The pitchers threw only 11 combined pitches, but those led to 4 outs.
Cristopher Sanchez threw only 2 pitches and got 2 ground ball outs. Matt Strahm came in later and took 5 pitches to strike out Bobby Witt Jr. Then Hoffman got Willi Castro to ground out with 4 pitches. Turner, Harper, and Bohm combined to go 3 for 8.
The point is that the Philadelphia All-Stars did their part. All 6 of them made a positive impact on the game. They weren’t Shohei Ohtani who hit a 3-Run Blast, the only runs the NL scored all night. But they also were not like Logan Webb or Hunter Greene giving up multiple runs.
The NL wound up losing 5-3. Luckily it no longer determines who has home-field advantage. So it won’t end up hurting the Phillies down the road if they make it to the World Series. It does however continue a long-standing tradition of AL Dominance in the game though.
