Takeaways<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Will Warren<\/strong><\/a>‘s start gave the Yankees (56-47) a chance. The right-hander allowed two runs on five hits while striking out seven and walking three in 5.2 innings pitched. Manager Aaron Boone<\/strong><\/a> pulled Warren (6-5, 4.82 ERA) after 89 pitches (57 strikes) and got the sixth’s first two outs for left-handed reliever Tim Hill<\/strong>, who struck out Bryson Stott<\/strong> to end the inning, but the seventh was another story. Ultimately, Hill and those who followed unraveled — all while New York entered the final three frames with a lead, following designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton<\/strong><\/a>‘s go-ahead sixth-inning home run put the Yankees up 3-2.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    While right-hander Luke Weaver<\/strong>‘s high-leverage relief appearance after Hill was a disaster, first baseman Paul Goldschmidt<\/strong><\/a>‘s costly seventh-inning error should not go unmentioned. With one out and runners at second and third after Weaver relieved Hill, Goldschmidt’s airmailed throw home on Nick Castellanos<\/strong>‘ grounder allowed Trea Turner<\/strong> to score and tie the game at 3-3. J.T. Realmuto<\/strong>‘s three-run home run on the second pitch of the next at-bat pushed the Phillies ahead, 6-3, and Philadelphia (59-44) never looked back despite New York’s two-run bottom half.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    To extend the point about the bullpen, after the Yankees’ bats chipped away to make it a 6-5 deficit, New York gave that right back. Right-hander Ian Hamilton<\/strong> served up Kyle Schwarber<\/strong>‘s second home run of the evening, a three-run shot to bury the Yankees at 8-5, and the hole dug deeper in the ninth when right-hander Scott Effross <\/strong>allowed Edmundo Sosa<\/strong>‘s RBI single, Stott’s two-run double and Turner’s RBI triple — all with two outs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Who’s the MVP?<\/p>\n

    Schwarber, whose two home runs — tying and putting the game away — made the biggest impact.<\/p>\n
