Alec Bohm smoked a first-pitch home run after Bryce Harper passed some advice from the dugout

Bryce Harper is having an impact on the Philadelphia Phillies home run hitters even when he’s not hitting them himself.
On Tuesday, the Phillies jumped out to a second inning 4-0 lead over the Houston Astros in Game 3 of the World Series. Harper got things going once again with a two-run shot off of Lance McCullers Jr. to open the scoring for the Phillies in the first, whipping Philadelphia fans into a frenzy.
After his mammoth home run, Harper then called over Alec Bohm — who was on deck at the time — to talk shop. The inning ended before Bohm got up to bat, but whatever Harper said to him clearly worked after the infielder smoked a first pitch leadoff home run in the second.
Here’s how Harper’s chat with Bohm went down in the bottom of the first.
It’s hard to say if McCullers was tipping pitches and Harper told Bohm what to look out for, but the Phillies clearly did their due diligence in scouting the Astros pitcher prior to Tuesday’s game.
As for what Harper said to Bohm? We’ll likely never know!
All right then, keep your secrets!
