Yesterday was Cliff Lee dominating the Yankees. Tonight it was AJ Burnett dominating the Phillies. Burnett pitched 7 innings, allowed one ER and and struck out 9. Meanwhile, Mariano Rivera pitched two shut out innings to seal the win f0r the Yankees 3-1. While A-Rod was struck out 3 times last night, Ryan Howard was struck out 4 times tonight. Sucks to be a slugger. Although to be fair, Howard has actually gotten two hits in this series while A-Rod hasn't done a thing yet. The Series is now even going to Philadelphia.
As the series goes to Philly, the Phillies have got to win two of these games at least, otherwise they will be practically done for. It will be Pettite and Hamels pitching game 3. I think Pettite has the edge. Hamels hasn't really been himself and Pettite has actually done well in the postseason. I'm sure the Phillies are happy to just take one from the Yankees while in the Bronx. As for the Yankees, they do have the momentum a bit more but still will have to fight for an edge.
P.S. I am going to have a few spaces down here over the series and reveal a letter every time the Yankees win a game. Here is the first letter.
