NEW YORK -- If it's not Kyle Schwarber, it's Bryce Harper. And the rest of the Phillies follow the leaders.
Harper crushed his 15th home run of the season as the Phillies outslugged the Yankees for a second straight game on Saturday, a 9-4 win at Yankee Stadium.
Two games after becoming the youngest active player to 350 career home runs -- of only eight current Major Leaguers to reach the milestone -- Harper was back at it again in New York with No. 351, a Statcast-projected 425-foot moonshot off the back wall of the right-center-field bullpen.
Philadelphia's stars have led the way in this series between two powerhouse lineups, with Schwarber homering twice in Friday's opener against the Bronx Bombers before Harper went deep on Saturday.
Not to mention what Trea Turner is doing in the leadoff spot to set the table for Schwarber and Harper -- he's 6-for-11 with two doubles, a triple and five runs scored through the first two games of the series. Or what J.T. Realmuto is doing behind them -- he has two multihit games this series, and he hit the go-ahead home run on Friday.
"I think a lot of times they feed off of Harp, but I think they're feeding off each other now," manager Rob Thomson said. "It's like with our rotation -- they're trying to keep up with the Joneses in the lineup."
The hitters and pitchers both did their part to keep up with the Joneses on Saturday.
On the mound, Ranger Suárez bounced back from one of his worst starts of the season to shut down the Yankees. After allowing six runs in 4 1/3 innings against the Angels in his first start of the second half, Suárez held the Yankees to just one run in 5 2/3 innings with eight strikeouts.
It's a lot easier to pitch when your offense is putting up nine runs behind you, of course.
"Obviously it is," Suárez said through interpreter Diego D'Aniello. "But it's even easier when you have control over your pitches."
Of all the star hitters in the Philadelphia lineup, Harper and Schwarber especially have been bringing the firepower in the second half. They now have 11 home runs between them in the eight games since the All-Star break -- five for Harper, six for Schwarber.
"The veteran guys that we have that are hitting for us, they're doing incredible," Brandon Marsh said. "It's fun to see and it's fun to hit after them."
Against the Yankees, the offense has exploded around them. The Phillies' No. 1 through 5 hitters have combined for 20 hits through two games in New York. They're 20-for-47 with four home runs, six doubles and a triple.
"It's contagious," said Marsh, who chipped in two hits on Saturday from the fifth spot. "It bleeds throughout the whole lineup."
