The Phillies needed a game like this one. They needed Bryson Stott's early homer. They needed a ticked-off Alec Bohm to come through with a big two-out bases-clearing double in the third -- and Stott's two-out bases-clearing double of his own three innings later. Mostly, they just needed to win. The Phillies snapped their four-game losing streak -- and avoided a sweep at the hands of the Yankees -- with Sunday night's 11-4 rout at Citizens Bank Park. It was a rare win over another team currently in line to play postseason baseball. Though the Phillies have righted the ship from their 9-19 start that led to the dismissal of manager Rob Thomson, they have racked up the majority of their wins against teams that likely won't be playing beyond September. Even with Sunday's victory, the Phils are just 13-27 against the other 11 teams currently in the postseason picture.
