It hasn’t been easy for the Yankees since the All-Star break. They split the first six games, and they left Toronto on Wednesday with a bad taste in their mouths because they didn’t gain any ground on the first-place Blue Jays in the American League East race.

SportsLine's proven model has simulated New York Yankees vs. Philadelphia Phillies 10,000 times and released its MLB picks for Saturday's matchup at Yankee Stadium

Ryan McMahon went 1 for 3 with two strikeouts and a walk in his New York Yankees debut, a 9-4 loss to Philadelphia.

The Phillies blew it open in the seventh. Edmundo Sosa - who was later involved in an ugly collision with Brandon Marsh on a pop up - hit a two-run home run to make it 7-1, and then Kyle Schwarber (5-10 with six RBIs in the series) added a two-run double to push the lead to 9-1.

The Yankees lost 9-4 to the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday afternoon and have dropped four out of their last five games.

The Yankees cut their deficit to 6-5 in the seventh. Anthony Volpe, on his bobblehead night, hit a 340-foot solo shot. Ben Rice had a pinch-hit, one-out single and later scored on Aaron Judge’s sac fly.

If it's not Kyle Schwarber, it's Bryce Harper. Harper crushed his 15th home run of the season as the Phillies outslugged the Yankees for a second straight game on Saturday, a 9-4 win at Yankee Stadium.

The Philadelphia Phillies are predicted to complete a blockbuster three-team trade with the New York Yankees for a center field upgrade.
