Phillies Shut Out Rockies 6-0 on Mother's Day

The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-0 on May 11, 2026, in a Mother's Day contest that proved drama-free on the field but not entirely off it. Third baseman Alec Bohm did not wear any pink whatsoever during the game. Pretty much every player in Major League Baseball wears pink on Mother's Day, yet the 29-year-old Bohm decided to pass on the holiday tradition entirely.

Bohm is currently in a legal battle against his parents. He filed a lawsuit against them for millions of dollars, according to details first reported by Nick Vadala of The Philadelphia Inquirer. It is alleged that Bohm's parents drained large sums of money from accounts managed for him and used some of the cash for their own expenses.

Com reported that the absence of pink from Bohm's uniform appeared tied to the family dispute. A Twitter user captured the visual, posting a photo with the comment "Bohm not sporting any pink. " The image showed the Phillies third baseman in standard team colors without any pink accents as he played against the Rockies.

Andrew Powell wrote the article published on May 11, 2026 at 1:02 PM ET. The piece noted the contrast between the straightforward victory and the personal news surrounding Bohm. The Phillies secured the win without complications in the contest itself.

Bohm, positioned at third base throughout the shutout, contributed to a defense that held Colorado scoreless. The legal action has drawn attention on social media, where one observer described Bohm's choice of attire as fitting given the circumstances. The post highlighted how the third baseman's decision stood out on a day when pink cleats, wristbands and sleeves are standard across the league.

Bohm's lawsuit remains at the allegation stage. com reported that the matter involves family finances and has not yet been resolved in court. The 29-year-old has been a regular at third base for the Phillies.

His visible decision to forgo pink occurred as the team opened a series against the Rockies on the nationally recognized holiday.
