Phillies Rout Yankees 11-4 to Avoid Three-Game Sweep

The victory gives the Phillies momentum, raising rotation and roster questions for the Yankees with an injured Cody Bellinger on the 10-day IL.

Overview

  • The Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Yankees 11-4 on Sunday night to stop a sweep after New York had won the first two games of the series.
  • Cristopher Sánchez delivered a six-inning quality start with six strikeouts and earned the win while Yankees starter Will Warren was charged with six runs in just over three innings.
  • Bryson Stott homered, doubled and drove in five runs and Alec Bohm hit a bases-clearing double as the two combined for nine of Philadelphia’s 11 RBIs.
  • New York began the day by placing All-Star outfielder Cody Bellinger on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain and made multiple lineup changes for the finale.
  • The result hands the Phillies a confidence boost before an easier stretch of opponents and leaves the Yankees facing starter inconsistency and roster strain as the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaches.
