• Posted Last Night's Action: A-Rod Lifts Yanks to 3-1 Lead to Gothamist
  • Yankees 7, Phillies 4: Alex Rodriguez hit a go-ahead double in the top of the ninth to help the Yankees bounce back from a blown lead and take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven World Series. Joba Chamberlain had served up a two-strike, two-out homer to Pedro Feliz in the bottom of the eighth, and the first two Yankees in the top of the ninth had made out. But Johnny Damon hit an opposite-field single and stole second and third on the same pitch. Mark Teixeira was hit by a pitch, and that set the stage for Rodriguez's double. Jorge Posada singled in two more runs to give Mariano Rivera some breathing room.

But Alex Rodriguez hit a two-run homer in the fourth that was originally ruled a double, but then reversed by the umpires with instant replay, and then the Yankees -- helped by an Andy Pettitte RBI single -- scored three in the fifth. They added a run each in the sixth, seventh and eighth and now own a two games to one lead in the World Series. Hideki Matsui and Nick Swisher also had homers, and Johnny Damon had a critical two-run double.
