New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Yankees pitcher Will Warren struggled significantly, allowing six runs in just over three innings, contributing to an early 6-0 deficit in their 11-4 loss to the Phillies.
- Warren's recent performance has declined sharply, with a 6.57 ERA over his last eight starts compared to a 3.22 ERA earlier in the season, as he struggles with control and pitching from behind in counts.
- Despite the Yankees' lineup managing three runs against Phillies ace Cristopher Sánchez, pitching and defensive miscues, including errors and walks, undermined their efforts.
- The loss leaves the Yankees three games behind the Rays in the AL East, heading into a crucial week in Chicago before the trade deadline, with key players Cody Bellinger, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton on the injured list.
- Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged the team's overall poor performance, emphasizing the need for better execution and control on the mound to improve outcomes moving forward.
