HT Image The Phillies sent the Yankees to their seventh loss in 10 games following a five-game winning streak July 6-11. Philadelphia also earned the win after the Yankees held Aaron Judge out of the lineup because of a right elbow injury. Harper tagged New York's Marcus Stroman (2-2) for a 425-foot drive into the right-center field seats with two outs after the right-hander struck out Trea Turner and Schwarber. Schwarber followed up his second two-homer game this season with a double during a four-run seventh off Allan Winans.

Philadelphia's Ranger Suarez bounced back from Sunday's rough outing against the Los Angeles Angels and held the Yankees to one run on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. The left-hander tied a season-high with eight strikeouts, walked one and threw 108 pitches. Jasson Dominguez had an RBI single in the fourth off Suarez, who held Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton hitless in eight at-bats. Ben Rice scored on a balk in the eighth before Alan Rangel struck out Goldschmidt. Stanton hit a two-run homer in the seventh for the Yankees, who are getting outscored 55-38 since the All-Star break.
