Game 106 - Monday Night, July 29th in Philadelphia
Record - 65-41, 1st Place, 8 1/2 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisolm both belted a pair of home runs as the Yankees dismantled Zack Wheeler and the Phillies, 14-4.
What It Means: Nothing is going right and the entire team looks lost.
What Happened: Wheeler fell to 10-5 by allowing seven runs on seven hits, including three home runs, in five innings of work. Yunior Marte gave up two more runs, Gregory Soto allowed three to score and Garrett Stubbs gave up the final two. Stubbs has pitched twice in the past two weeks, so that's a good indication of how poorly things are going. Brandon Marsh hit a solo home run in the fourth.
Featured Card: The last time the Phillies were beat this badly by the Yankees at home was June 9, 1999, when Phillies starter Chad Ogea was roughed up. The Yankees had an eight-run sixth inning, with the Phillies burning through four pitchers to record three outs - Chad Ogea, Mike Grace, Robert Person and Jim Poole. The final score in that game was 11-5.
Transaction: Carlos Estevez (rhp), acquired on Saturday, was added to the active roster and Michael Rucker (rhp) was optioned to Lehigh Valley. Rucker was on the active roster for three games and did not throw a pitch for the Phillies.
