The Yankees pulled off a significant trade they believe will fortify their everyday lineup, but they could not get back on the winning track before new third baseman Ryan McMahon arrives<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sloppy Yankees committed two more errors, including one during the go-ahead rally by the Phillies, and the bullpen coughed up 10 runs over the final three innings in another eyesore loss, 12-5, Friday night at the Stadium to fall 5 \u00b9\/\u2082 games behind the Blue Jays in the AL East.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe easy thing is just to play better. Mistakes like I made tonight and other mistakes we\u2019ve made, we got to cut those down,\u201d said first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who made a throwing error in the Phillies\u2019 four-run seventh inning. \u201cThose are conversations that we\u2019re having, but we\u2019ve made a few too many mistakes over the last however many games that if you\u2019re down or up by a bunch, they can get swept under the rug.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019ve played some close games, and some of those have cost us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Yankees led 3-2 entering the seventh following Giancarlo Stanton\u2019s solo homer the previous inning, but Goldschmidt fielded a ball to his right and made an errant throw home for an error on an infield single by Nick Castellanos. The miscue allowed the batter to advance into scoring position after Trea Turner had scored the tying run on the play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking back, I should\u2019ve just made the play and went to first base there,\u201d Goldschmidt said. \u201cProbably too aggressive by me to try to make a play when they were going to be safe anyway. It was a mistake by me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luke Weaver replaced lefty Tim Hill and was tagged for a three-run homer to left by J.T. Realmuto for a 6-3 Phillies lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Yankees recouped two runs in the bottom half on a leadoff homer by Anthony Volpe and a sacrifice fly by Aaron Judge for a one-run game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Kyle Schwarber crushed his second two-run blast of the night \u2014 this one against reliever Ian Hamilton \u2014 to boost the cushion back to three. The Phils then added four more runs against Scott Effross in the ninth to groans and boos from The Bronx crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep going,\u201d Austin Wells said. \u201cWe\u2019re in a good spot to make a run here, and I think the tides are going to turn.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yankees starter Will Warren had bounced back from a rough outing last weekend in Atlanta with 5 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings of two-run ball, with seven strikeouts on 89 pitches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cody Bellinger and Wells also belted solo home runs, but the Yankees (56-47) still fell to 14-22 over a six-week stretch since June 13.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before the game, Boone said he expects the addition of McMahon in a trade with the MLB-worst Rockies will provide a boost both offensively and defensively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boone had stated after a four-error game in Wednesday\u2019s loss in Toronto, that the sloppy Yankees needed to \u201ctighten up\u201d on the defensive side.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They began the series tied for the ninth-most errors in MLB with 52 (now 54) \u2014 led by 13 by Volpe at shortstop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI expect, and it needs to be, one of our strengths,\u201d Boone said. \u201cNow bringing in a McMahon, and with Anthony, we need them to play, the way they\u2019re capable of playing and how we expect them to play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if they do, that becomes a strength, and we need that to happen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Warren added to the Yankees\u2019 error total with a high throw to Volpe at second on a potential double-play comebacker in the second.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bellinger and Wells each went deep in the first two innings against Philly starter Taijuan Walker for a 2-0 lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Warren escaped the second with the cushion intact, but the Phillies finally got to him and evened the score in the fifth on Schwarber\u2019s first-pitch, two-run blast to right-center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stanton broke the knot against Walker with a rocket over the wall in center with two outs in the sixth for the 3-2 lead that would not last.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201c[We need to play] just solid baseball the rest of the way,\u201d Goldschmidt said. \u201cWhen we\u2019ve played real well it\u2019s definitely a team effort \u2014 pitching, hitting, defense, baserunning, 1-through-9 in the lineup, bullpen and starters. That\u2019 what it\u2019s going to take.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s really good teams in our division and across the AL. We still have a lot of confidence in ourselves. Hopefully it\u2019ll start Saturday, we play well and it continues on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Yankees pulled off a significant trade they believe will fortify their everyday lineup, but they could not…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":93151,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,5919,1266,405,403,2228,5226,5225,5228,5227,9141,2083,62,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-93150","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-luke-weaver","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-new-york-yankees","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkcity","16":"tag-ny","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-paul-goldschmidt","19":"tag-philadelphia-phillies","20":"tag-sports","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114917596599332625","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/93151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
