The Phillies got off to a great start in Game 1 and didn't look back. Almost. There was a bit of a blip in the seventh inning, and our bats went cold for a while in the middle of the game, but the game was never really in question.

Still, those shaky spots definitely existed, and the win wasn't perfect. Beautiful? For sure. A terrific momentum builder? Of course. But not perfect.

Let's take a look at three Phillies who stood out the most, and two who let us down in Tuesday's win.

Phillies vs. Marlins Game 1: Studs & Duds

Stud Alec Bohm

Getting the Phillies on the board with their first run of the postseason is a pretty good way to get an early nod on the studs list.

But honestly, that should have been RBI number two of the night for Bohm. In the electric first inning, his fly ball to right field was absolutely deep enough to drive in Kyle Schwarber. It was only a bad call by third-base coach Dusty Wathan that kept a 0 on the scoreboard.

That RBI did prove to be Bohm's only hit of the day, but getting the Phillies their first run of the postseason (and having to do it twice thanks to poor coaching) is stud material.

But Alec Bohm wasn't the stud for the Phillies. You already know who that was.
