Gerrit Cole's first home start with the Yankees ended in a win over the Phillies.
New York improved to 8-1 for the third time after 1988 and 2003. The major league-best Yankees have won seven straight — the equivalent of a 19-game spurt over a 162-game season.
Signed to a $324 million, nine-year contract, Cole grew up a Yankees fan, and at his signing news conference in December brought along the yellow sign he had held up as an 11-year-old at the 2001 World Series: "Yankee Fan Today Tomorrow Forever." DJ LeMahieu led off the bottom of the first with a home run against Jake Arrieta , who made his first appearance since surgery last August to remove a bone spur from his right elbow.
Philadelphia got RBI singles from Adam Haseley off Brooks Kriske in the seventh and Jean Segura against Luis Avilan in the eighth. Zack Britton pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save.
