Yankees Rally to Edge Phillies 4-3, Avoid Series Sweep

The New York Yankees avoided a series sweep by defeating the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 in the Bronx, sparked by Ryan McMahon's tying two-run double in the second inning. McMahon, recently acquired from the Rockies, contributed defensively with several key plays while also driving in runs in just his second game with the Yankees. Phillies players Nick Castellanos and Otto Kemp each hit solo home runs off Carlos Rodón, who pitched 5 1/3 innings allowing three earned runs and eight strikeouts. Despite the strong pitching from Rodón, the Yankees responded with Austin Wells' sacrifice fly and Trent Grisham's RBI single to take the lead. Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto made a spectacular inning-ending double play to deny the Yankees a run, while Phillies center fielder Johan Rojas threw out a runner at home plate. Giancarlo Stanton had a productive game for the Yankees, going 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBIs, continuing his recent hot streak.
