Series Summary – Phillies 12, Yankees 5 (July 25, 2025)
Kyle Schwarber went deep twice with 2‑run home runs, including his 1,000th hit of his career, to lead the Phillies’ charge past the Yankees 12‑5. His first homer tied the game in the 5th, his second put Philadelphia ahead in the 8th.
J.T. Realmuto hit a game‑changer of a three‑run homer in the 7th inning after NYC first baseman Paul Goldschmidt made a costly throw that led to the tying run — one of two errors in what was NYC’s 9th error in four games.
Phillies had 14 overall hits, scoring 10 in the final three innings, and Trea Turner finished with four hits, including an RBI triple in the 9th.
Taijuan Walker pitched 5⅔ innings and gave up three runs, and the bullpen did a good job of shutting the Yankees’ hitters down late.
Yankees Troubles & Transitions
The humiliating defeat highlights continuing defensive and bullpen problems. Yankees have made nine mistakes in four matches, and the pitching relief gave up 10 earned runs in 3 1/3 innings.
Luke Weaver gave up a crucial home run to Realmuto and has already given up seven homers in his last 15 1/3 innings and has been inconsistent.
Following the defeat, reliever Scott Effross and infielder Jorbit Vivas were sent to Triple‑A by the Yankees. They have energized new third baseman Ryan McMahon, obtained in a trade with Colorado, to strengthen its defense at the hot corner.
Quick Takeaways
Philies’ power explosion and bullpen depth with sharp work after early Yankees’ Cody Bellinger, Austin Wells and Giancarlo Stanton home run.
Yankees have to get their defense, bullpen consistency and deliver on McMahon's defensive upgrade or they will be disappointments as they face trade deadline with the heat on them.
