Overview

  • In Friday’s opener the Phillies racked up 12 runs in a 12-5 win over New York, highlighted by two homers from Kyle Schwarber and a four-hit game by Trea Turner.
  • For Game 2 on Saturday at 1:05 p.m. ET, Ranger Suarez will take the mound for Philadelphia against New York’s Marcus Stroman in a matchup airing exclusively on Apple TV+.
  • The victory improved the Phillies to 59-44, leaving them a half-game behind the NL East leader, while the Yankees dropped to 56-47 and trail the AL East-leading Blue Jays by 4.5 games.
  • Both clubs have hovered around .500 since the All-Star break as their top sluggers—Aaron Judge with 37 homers for New York and Schwarber with 36 for Philadelphia—offset ongoing rotation and bullpen challenges.
  • This three-game interleague set at Yankee Stadium represents the teams’ first regular-season meeting and carries ripple effects for midseason trade-deadline strategies and wild-card positioning.
