One thing is clear: the New York Yankees’ victory against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night wasn’t pretty. It was ugly: seven pitchers were used, in total, and they handed eleven walks and could only strike out eight hitters. Not ideal, but a victory is a victory, and for now, that’s all that matters.
Asher Wojciechowski allowed two runs but gave the Yankees four innings, keeping them in the game, and Albert Abreu, Justin Wilson, Zack Britton, Nick Nelson, Aroldis Chapman, and Brooks Kriske combined to allow just three additional runs in the 6-5 win.
