Game 46, Gainst the Phillies, Decide the Series

CC Sabathia starts today at Yankee Stadium. He will pitch the final game that decides who wins the series against the World Champion Phillies. He starts against the Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels. In Sabathia's last start he held the Orioles to just 1 run and 3 hits in a 9-1 victory last week. Lets see how this one goes.

The Phillies score 2 in the third off a single, a double and another single. The Yankees get 1 back in the bottom of the inning with two doubles, Gardner, who scored, and Damon, with the RBI. In the sixth the Phillies score another with a single and a double. Teixeira scores 1 for the Yankees in the bottom with a home run.

The Yankees don't catch up to the Phillies until the ninth again tonight. Cano singled and Cabrera singled him in after Pena pitch ran and stole second. 3-3 in the top of the tenth.

In the top of the eleventh Tomko walked 2 and gave up a hit, and the tie, and the win to the Phillies. 4-3 final.

Sabathia had a good start, not his best, but still good. He gave up 3 earned runs off of 9 hits with 0 walks and only 4 strike outs. Jeter had a good game going 3-5. Cabrera also went 3-5 with an RBI, the game tying 1 in the ninth. Rodriguez and Matsui went 0-4 with 3 strike outs and 0-5 with 2 strike outs. Good game for the power hitters I guess.
