Cliff Lee Shuts Down Yankees in Game 1

Finally the World Series is here with the Phillies and the Yankees starting it off with game one in the House That Steinbrenner Paid For. The starters for this game were former Indian teammates Cliff Lee for the Phillies and CC Sabathia for the Yankees. The result was a Phillies win. What a performance for both pitchers as CC lasted 7 innings and gave in only 2 runs. Meanwhile Lee went the whole game and allowed one run and struck out ten. That is awesome. He even struck out A-Rod 3 times!!!

Another big player for the Phillies was Chase Utley with two homers. That is big for this team. The rest of the lineup also came through with Ibanez, Victarino and Howard getting a RBI at least. The Phillies now have an advantage in this series leading one game. There are still several to go but this definitely helps the Phillies chances. As for the Yankees, they still have Burnett and Pettite while the Phillies have Pedro and Hamels. Still favorable match ups for the Yankees. Still this win says that the Phillies could win this series.
