The World Series is all square after Mark Teixeira and Hideki Matsui shook the New York Yankees from their lumber slumber giving the Yankees a 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 on Thursday night.
A day after Cliff Lee stopped the Yankees desperately needed this win. Teixeira said “After yesterday, getting a win today was big,” They now have a day off before; Game 3 will be at Philadelphia on Saturday night. The Phillies had been hoping for more than a split but were content.
Light hitting Matt Stairs put the Phillies on top with an RBI single in the second. Burnett then used a biting curveball to keep Philadelphia from advancing another runner past second base against him. Teixeira tied the score when he led off the fourth by driving a high changeup into the Yankees bullpen in right field.
Matsui put New York ahead with two outs in the sixth, reaching down for a curveball below his knees and sending it a few rows into the seats in right.
