NEW YORK — After a strong 2023 debut, Gerrit Cole shoved again. Gleyber Torres, meanwhile, continued his hot start to the season. But it was catcher Jose Trevino who put the nail in the Phillies’ coffin as the Yankees beat Philadelphia, 4-2, in a series-deciding game on Wednesday afternoon.
With the Yankees already up 2-1 in the seventh inning, Trevino lined a two-run homer to left field, his first longball of the season. The shot, which came off Phillies reliever Gregory Soto, gave the Yankees a desirable cushion after the Phillies found their way onto the scoreboard earlier in the frame.
Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber hit a solo homer in the eighth, but that was the most Philadelphia’s offense could muster.
