Recap: Philadelphia vs. NY Yankees
By Sports Network
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Alex Rodriguez delivered the go-ahead run- scoring double in the ninth inning and the New York Yankees moved one victory from their 27th World Series title as they beat Philadelphia, 7-4, in Game 4 of the Fall Classic.
Philadelphia's Pedro Feliz lined a full-count fastball from Joba Chamberlain (1-0) over the wall in left field with two outs in the eighth to tie the game, but the Yankees rallied in the ninth off Brad Lidge to grab a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Jorge Posada drove in three runs, including a two-run single to cap the top of the ninth.
Mariano Rivera set the side down in order in the bottom of the ninth for the save and broke the World Series record with his 23rd appearance, passing ex- Yankee Whitey Ford. It was his 39th career postseason save.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi announced Sunday afternoon that he's decided to start A.J. Burnett on three days' rest for Monday's Game 5 at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies will start lefty Cliff Lee, who has sparkled with a 3-0 mark and a 0.54 ERA (two earned runs, 33 1/3 innings) this postseason. Lee threw a complete game to win Game 1, while Burnett threw seven solid innings in a 3-1 Game 2 triumph.
