The Phillies shot out of the gate early to take a 6-1 lead then held on for a 8-6 victory in game 5 of the world series. Chase Utley had 2 home runs, brining his series total to 5 and tying Reggie Jackson for the most home runs in a world series. Both starting pitchers struggled, but AJ Burnett only lasted two innings while giving up 6 earned runs. Cliff Lee lasted 7 innings for the Phillies before the Yankees put up 3 in the 8th, ending Lee's night. Ryan Madson pitched the 9th for the Phillies. With the score at 8-5, Madson gave up a double and a single to lead off the inning. Derek Jeter came to the plate as the tying run. This time, Jeter was not "All-World" as he grounded into a double play that also scored a run. After another single, Madson got Mark Teixeira to strike out to end the game. Game 6 is in New York on Wednesday night. Pedro Martinez will pitch for the Phillies and Andy Petitte will pitch for the Yankees.
