Philadelphia led early, but this game belonged to the pitching until the swings that mattered arrived in bunches. The Yankees beat the Phillies 3-1 at Citizens Bank Park, chipping away with a run in the third, sixth and seventh innings after Ryan Weathers kept the damage to a minimum on the mound.

Weathers worked 5.2 innings, allowing 1 run (1 earned) on 6 hits while striking out 7 and walking just 1. He kept the Phillies without an answer beyond their first-inning run, and the Yankees bullpen made sure it stayed that way, combining for 3.1 scoreless innings behind him.
Philadelphia struck first when Harper's sacrifice fly to center scored Turner in the first, giving the Phillies a 1-0 lead. New York answered in the third when Wells homered to left center, a 430-foot shot that tied the game at 1-1. The Yankees then went ahead for good in the sixth: Bellinger singled to center, scoring Wells and sending Goldschmidt to second, putting New York up 2-1. Domínguez added to the margin in the seventh with a home run to left, making it 3-1.
Tim Mayza opened for Philadelphia and turned in 2.0 scoreless innings with 1 strikeout, but the Phillies bullpen behind him allowed 3 runs across 7.0 innings of work. Schwarber managed two hits, including a double, and Turner scored the Phillies' only run, but Philadelphia could not push across another after the first inning.
The win extended New York's win streak to three games, improving the Yankees to 59-45. Philadelphia, now on a four-game losing streak, fell to 56-49.
