Yankees at Phillies
The New York Yankees snapped their longest losing streak of the season at three contests and now get behind their ace as they continue a three-game interleague series at the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. Aaron Judge homered and Giancarlo Stanton had a two-run single to back a combined three-hitter as the Yankees took the series opener 4-2.
Stanton had a pair of hits in three at-bats after going 5-for-5 in an extra-inning loss at Tampa Bay on Sunday. Luis Severino gets the start Tuesday for New York while trying to build on a stellar interleague career in which he is 5-1 with a 1.07 ERA. Jake Arrieta goes for the Phillies, who have lost two straight following a 6-1 stretch. Maikel Franco homered in Monday's loss for Philadelphia, which saw its first five hitters in the lineup combine to go 0-for-17 with nine strikeouts.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees RH Luis Severino (11-2, 2.24 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Jake Arrieta (5-5, 3.42)
Severino enters the week tied atop the majors in wins after allowing three runs over 5 2/3 innings in a victory over the Seattle Mariners last time out. He tied a season high with eight hits allowed and matched a season low with five strikeouts in the effort. The 24-year-old, who is facing the Phillies for the first time, yielded three runs or fewer in each of his last 13 starts.
Arrieta was 5-2 with a 2.16 ERA entering June but has gone 0-3 with a 6.97 mark in four starts this month. The best of those outings came in a no-decision against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, when he let up three runs and four hits over six frames. The former Cy Young Award winner is 3-1 with a 3.83 ERA in eight career meetings (seven starts) versus New York.
