The Yankees’ offense scored in just about every way besides a dropped third strike and a wild pitch with a runner on third, as they took the first of a two-game set with the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-4, extending their winning streak to three games.
This showdown had something for everybody on offense. Do you prefer small ball? The Yankees scored their first two runs thanks to the efforts of Greg Allen. First, he led off the bottom of the third with a single before scoring on an Estevan Florial groundout to first. Two innings later, he led off the fifth with a walk, stole second, advanced to third when Florial flew out to center field, and scored after old friend Didi Gregorius threw the ball into foul territory while trying to double him up on a Tyler Wade lineout.
