YANKS GAMEDAY

PHILADELPHIA — Aaron Hicks gave Luis Severino an early lead — and the Yankees’ 24-year-old ace took care of the rest.

Hicks led off the game with a 411-foot homer to center, Severino outpitched Jake Arrieta and the Bombers rolled to their second straight victory over the Phillies, 6-0, on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park.

Severino (12-2, 2.10 ERA) went seven shutout innings, allowing six hits while striking out nine and walking none.

Hicks, who entered the game 1-for-11 on the road trip, went 2-for-4 with his 11th homer of the year and two RBI. He has six homers in June.

Didi Gregorius also homered — his 15th — for the Bombers. Greg Bird snapped an 0-for-15 slide with an RBI single in the third. Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4, making him nine for his last 12.

Arrieta (5-6) gave up six runs (three earned) on nine hits in five innings.
