PHILADELPHIA (Interstat) — Ryan Weathers pitched 5 2/3 strong innings, Austin Wells and Jasson Dominguez hit solo home runs, and the New York Yankees defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 on Saturday at Citizens Bank Park.

Weathers allowed one run on six hits and struck out seven to improve to 4-7. David Bednar worked a perfect ninth for his 20th save. The Yankees (59-45) won their second straight game in the series after a 1-0 victory Friday. The Phillies dropped to 56-49.

Each team collected seven hits. The game lasted 2 hours, 40 minutes in front of 44,562 fans.

Philadelphia struck first in the bottom of the first. Trea Turner was hit by a pitch, Kyle Schwarber doubled to center, and Bryce Harper lifted a sacrifice fly to center that scored Turner.

The Yankees tied the score in the third. Wells led off the inning with a home run to left-center, his seventh of the season.

New York took the lead in the sixth. Wells drew a one-out walk. After two strikeouts, Paul Goldschmidt singled to shortstop, moving Wells to second. Cody Bellinger followed with a single to center that scored Wells and advanced Goldschmidt to second. Trent Grisham grounded out to end the inning.

Dominguez provided an insurance run in the seventh. He led off with a homer to left, his sixth.

The Phillies put a runner on base in each of the first four innings but could not add to their first-inning tally. Weathers retired nine of the final 10 batters he faced before leaving with one out in the sixth.

Kyle Backhus (1-1) was charged with the loss. He faced two batters in the seventh after Dominguez’s homer, walking one and striking out one.
