The Yankees entered play on Saturday afternoon against the Phillies with the second-worst bullpen ERA in Major League Baseball since May 30 (5.49). They had the highest home run per nine ratio (1.7) and were tied with the Nationals for the worst FIP in relief in that span (5.17). All of those numbers went up in Saturday’s loss.

The Phillies are half a game behind the New York Mets for the top spot in the NL East at 58-44. They blew a chance to finish off a three-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox their last time out on Wednesday, but allowed 6 runs with two outs in the fifth inning, squandering a 5-0 lead before eventually losing 9-8 in 11 innings.

The New York Yankees' two-year nightmare at the hot corner is finally over. And that comes at the expense of the Colorado Rockies.

Here are five things to watch and predictions as the Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies play a three-game series at Yankee Stadium.

Kyle Schwarber earned MVP honors for hitting three homers in the swing-off at the All-Star Game. In the first week since the All-Star break, Schwarber is still rolling, and the slugger will attempt to continue his power surge Saturday afternoon when the Philadelphia Phillies visit the New York Yankees.
