WEEKEND WIN: The Yankees Take Two out of Three from The Phillies behind strong pitching performances

New York Yankees outduel the Philadelphia Phillies, taking another series against a winning club—but can they keep it rolling with injuries mounting? Stacey Gotsulias and Brian McKeon break down the Yankees’ gritty performances, spotlighting strong outings from Cam Schlittler, Ryan Weathers, and a lockdown bullpen led by David Bednar. The pair analyze how the Yankees preserved their bullpen through a tough schedule, managed lineup challenges, and overcame frustrating late-inning rallies.

As trade deadline questions swirl, Cody Bellinger’s hamstring injury raises the stakes for potential roster decisions while the fate of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton’s returns remains uncertain. Plus, hear sharp takes on the AL East race with the surging Boston Red Sox, the struggling Toronto Blue Jays and their Vladimir Guerrero Jr. power drought, and the implications of Boston’s big trade. Can the Yankees’ pitching power them through a relentless stretch, or will injuries force Brian Cashman’s hand?
