THE BIG PLAY X-RAY
THE PLAY: It's hard to believe Alex Rodriguez had just one Series hit before he came to bat in the ninth inning last night, but he did. He promptly made his second safety a big one.THE SETUP: After the Phillies had tied the game on a Pedro Feliz solo home run in the eighth, the Yankees mounted a two-out rally off Brad Lidge in the top of the ninth. Johnny Damon singled to left, stole second and third on the same play (don't ask) and Mark Teixeira was hit by a pitch.
THE AT-BAT: A-Rod took a fastball for a strike and then drilled another fastball to the leftfield wall, Damon scoring easily, Teixeira stopping at third and Rodriguez hustling into second. Jorge Posada singled home those two runs.
