What sparked the Phillies' bats last night? Could it have been the do or die stakes? The loud roar of tens of thousands of Phillies Phans? The final home game at Citizens Bank Park for the season? Whatever the motivation, last night's Philadelphia victory was exactly what the team needed to keep this series alive. Chase Utley's 3-run homer in the bottom of the first definitely pumped some adrenaline into the Phillies' bloodstream, but he didn't stop there. Utley again homered in the 7th allowing the team to take an 8-2 lead.
Just as you thought the game was over, the Yanks started creeping back in the top of the 8th. A-Rod's 2 RBI double, and score off of Cano's sac. fly, brought the Yankees from behind to a 3-run game.
In the end, the Phillies were able to take Game 5, pushing the Series to yet another game, and breaking the 5-year streak of Series ending in sweeps, or 5 games. Can the Phillies hold on to this comeback as they enter Yankee territory? Tell us what you think at http://bit.ly/4qoaKM.
