The New York Yankees pulled off a thrilling 7-6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in a 12-inning game on Tuesday night. Gleyber Torres played hero with an RBI sacrifice fly in the 12th inning, while Jazz Chisholm Jr. stole the show with two home runs and five RBIs.
Chisholm, who was recently acquired by the Yankees from the Miami Marlins, has been on fire with four home runs in his last two games. His offensive prowess has been a major boost for the Yankees as they continue their winning streak.
Aaron Judge and Anthony Volpe also contributed to the Yankees’ offensive output, with Judge collecting three hits and Volpe adding two hits to the mix. The Yankees’ resilience and depth were on full display as they secured their fourth consecutive win.
The game took an unexpected turn when Yankees’ ace Gerrit Cole was scratched from his start due to “general body fatigue.” Will Warren stepped in to make his major league debut, allowing four hits and four runs over 5 1/3 innings. Despite the setback, the Yankees bullpen stepped up, with Michael Tonkin earning the win in relief.
On the Phillies’ side, Austin Hays had a standout performance with a home run, a single, and four RBIs. Alec Bohm and J.T. Realmuto also made significant contributions to the Phillies’ offense, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Yankees’ relentless attack.
The game was a back-and-forth battle, with both teams scoring runs in extra innings to keep the game close. The Phillies tied the game at 5-5 in the bottom of the ninth, only to see the Yankees regain the lead in the 12th inning.
In the end, the Yankees out-hit the Phillies 11-9 and emerged victorious in a hard-fought contest. The game showcased the excitement and unpredictability of baseball, with both teams leaving it all on the field.
Overall, the Yankees’ resilience and Chisholm’s stellar performance were the keys to their success in this thrilling matchup. As the season progresses, both teams will look to build on this game and continue their quest for a playoff spot.
