After a 3-3 road trip through Atlanta and Toronto, the Yankees are home to open a weekend series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

On a day when the Yankees had little available in the way of relief, Marcus Stroman provided it in his best start of the season.

The Yankees and Blue Jays are set to clash in an AL East showdown that will prove exactly what both teams need to address prior to the trade deadline.

The Queens edition of the Subway Series between the New York Mets and the New York Yankees included all the off-field gimmicks and silly jokes that were absent back in May when this matchup took place in the corporate setting of Yankee Stadium.

“Just not good enough,” said manager Aaron Boone, who along with pitching coach Matt Blake was ejected in the seventh inning for arguing balls and strikes. “We’ve got to obviously tighten it up. Confident we will. We’ll continue to work at it. We have good defenders here. But tonight was obviously a rough night for us.”

Entering Saturday’s game, the Yankees’ 120 wRC+ was the best in baseball. They lead MLB in home runs, walk percentage, isolated power, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and wOBA. This offense is deadly enough to carry them to title No. 28.
