LIVE UPDATES
First inning
Jordan Montgomery makes quick work of the Phillies in the top of the first, striking out Didi Gregorius in a 10-pitch first.
In the bottom half of the frame, Giancarlo Stanton ripped a 109.4 mph double into the left-field corner. With runners on second and third, however, Luke Voit struck out swinging to end the inning.
Second inning
Brett Gardner goes yard for a grand slam! Watch this:
Fourth inning
Jonathan Loaisiga replaces Jordan Montgomery on the mound. Monty was brilliant, throwing three shutout innings with a strikeout and two weak base hits. Another solid step this spring for the southpaw.
Sixth inning
Yankees still have a 4-0 lead and all of New York's starters have been taken out of the game.
Ninth inning
We haven't seen any runs on the board since the second inning when Brett Gardner hit a grand slam...
FINAL: Yankees 4, Phillies 0
Jonathan Loaisiga, Lucas Luetge, Nick Goody, Kyle Barraclough and Brooks Kriske throw six innings in relief of Jordan Montgomery (who gets the win) as New York closes out the shutout.
The Yankees are off on Monday, their first of two off days all spring. New York is back in action on Tuesday against the Tigers in Lakeland. Thanks for following along!
