In the third the Yankees took a 1-0 lead on a wild pitch.  In the bottom of the third the Phillies tied the game on an RBI ground out by Cesar Hernandez.  In the fourth Maikel Franco hit a solo homerun to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead.  In the fifth the Yankees took a 3-2 lead on a wild pitch as two runs scored.  In the sixth Odubel Herrera grounded into a double play but a run scored to tie the game at three.  Franco hit an inside-the-park homerun and the Phillies had a 4-3 lead.  Rhys Hoskins hit a solo homerun and the Phillies lead was 5-3.  In the eighth Deglan hit an RBI single to cut the lead to 5-4 and in the ninth Solano hit an RBI single to tie the game at five.  In the bottom of the ninth Stassi hit a walk-off RBI single to give the Phillies the 6-5 victory.
