Ryan McMahon sparked a comeback with a tying, two-run double in a four-run second inning against Zack Wheeler, and the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 to salvage the finale of a three-game series.
The New York Yankees are active ahead of the MLB trade deadline, but their recent moves aren't enough to distract from a troubling skid.
They entered play on Sunday afternoon with the second-worst bullpen ERA going all the way back to May 30 (5.53). In that span, no other team has been giving up more home runs in relief (1.7 per nine innings) and Yankees relievers have the highest FIP in baseball (5.18) as well.

If the New York Yankees decide to become sellers at Thursday's MLB trade deadline, one area on the roster is expected to be the focus of their moves.
Wheeler had an uncharacteristic start as he allowed four runs in the second inning, and despite hitting three homers, the Phillies produced just five hits in Sunday’s 4-3 loss.

The Yankees score their first four runs of the game in the 2nd inning with McMahon two-run double, Wells sac fly and a Grisham RBI single
