Claim 4: “Phillies hit 3 homers off Max Scherzer”
DISPUTED
One source (KQSM-FM) claims the Phillies hit three homers off Max Scherzer. However, the ESPN recap specifically mentions only Bohm and Harper homered off Scherzer, and the total score was 7-4. There is a contradiction regarding whether three home runs were hit specifically off Scherzer versus the game in general.
