The New York Yankees had an unforgettable game as they rocked the Philadelphia Phillies in the opening game at Citizen's Bank Park. Luis Gil's stellar performance helped the Yanks prevail and the offense dominated one of the best pitchers in the MLB.
Zack Wheeler had one of his worst outings after surrendering seven earned runs in five innings. The Bronx Bombers smashed six home runs. Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. scored two each. Ben Rice and Anthony Volpe were the other two players who went deep from the plate.
The Yanks won the game 14-4 and are keen on picking up their second win with Gerrit Cole on the mound in Game 2 of the series. Cole's last outing was a disappointment, but the ace is one of the most accomplished pitchers on the team. Cole has a 3-2 record with a 5.40 ERA. The Yanks will still need to provide support from the plate.
