Yankees watch Phillies steadily pull away
Briefly

Aaron Judge's elbow pain was diagnosed as a flexor strain, avoiding significant injury concerns for the Yankees. The team faced a severe loss against the Phillies, who scored 9 runs from 13 hits. Marcus Stroman struggled, allowing four runs in less than four innings. Despite Giancarlo Stanton hitting a homerun, the Yankees' poor performance left them trailing in the AL East. They have lost four of their last five, with the Jays gaining on them significantly since late May, where they were leading the division.
The Yankees have lost four of their last five games and 23 of their last 37, faltering dramatically after leading the AL East by seven games in late May.
Starter Marcus Stroman was ineffective, giving up four runs and needing 89 pitches before the fourth inning was halfway over.
