Stott, Bohm Bury Yankees Early in 11-4 Philadelphia Rout
Bryson Stott went 3-for-4 with a home run and 5 RBI as Philadelphia dismantled New York 11-4 on Sunday. The Phillies had the game functionally over before the fifth inning was done.
Philadelphia wasted no time. Schwarber opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly to right in the first, Turner crossing the plate to make it 1-0. Stott followed in the second with a solo shot to right — 360 feet — to push it to 2-0. Then the third inning happened, and the Yankees were cooked. Bohm doubled to center, scoring Marsh, Schwarber, and Harper in one swing to make it 5-0. That's the play where the win probability swung from 82% to 94% in Philadelphia's favor — a 13-point lurch that told you everything you needed to know about where this game was going. Stott added a single to right immediately after, scoring Bohm, and just like that it was 6-0 before New York could blink.
New York mounted something in the fifth — a pickoff error by Cristopher Sanchez let a run score, and then Domínguez grounded into a run and Volpe doubled home another to make it 6-3. For a moment it looked like the Yankees had found a pulse. Sanchez finished his night at 6.0 IP, allowing 3 ER on 6 hits with 6 strikeouts and 3 walks — a serviceable line that the offense made look far better than it needed to be. But Philadelphia answered immediately in the sixth. Turner singled home De La Cruz, Bohm got hit by a pitch to force in Crawford, and then Stott — again — doubled to right, clearing the bases and scoring Bohm, Turner, and Schwarber to push the lead to 11-3. That was the ballgame.
The story of the night was Stott's relentlessness. Five RBI on three hits, with the big double in the sixth serving as the knockout punch after New York had briefly threatened. Bohm's 4 RBI on just one hit — that third-inning double — underscores how badly the Yankees' pitching buckled under pressure. Ben Rice gave New York fans something to watch in the seventh with a 417-foot solo shot to center, his lone highlight in an otherwise forgettable night for the visitors. Chase Shugart came out of the Philadelphia bullpen and was flat-out dominant: 2.0 innings, 1 hit, 0 runs, 5 strikeouts. That kind of relief work looks like a team that isn't just winning — it's winning with depth.
