Replay gives A-Rod HR in Yanks’ 8-5 win

November 1, 2009

PHILADELPHIA (AP)—The first instant replay call in World Series history didmore than turn a double into a home run. It changed the whole game for AlexRodriguez(notes) and the New York Yankees.

Rodriguez’s disputed shot started a big comeback and those dangerous Yankeesbats finally broke loose, backing Andy Pettitte(notes) in a rain-delayed 8-5 victoryover the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night that gave New York a 2-1 Serieslead.

Series Breakdown

“It was a big hit. I think it woke our offense up a little bit,” Rodriguezsaid.

After pitching dominated the first two games in the Bronx, the Yankees anddefending champion Phillies flexed their muscles, combining for six home runs atcozy Citizens Bank Park. Jayson Werth(notes) connected twice for Philadelphia.

Rain affected the Series schedule in Philly for the second consecutive year,delaying the start by 1 hour, 20 minutes. Once they hit the field in front oftheir boisterous fans, the Phillies took a 3-0 lead—but it was squandered by astruggling Cole Hamels(notes), last year’s World Series MVP.

Game 4 is Sunday night. Joe Blanton(notes) pitches against Yankees ace CC Sabathia(notes),who goes on three days’ rest for the second time this postseason.

A slumping Nick Swisher(notes) and pinch-hitter Hideki Matsui(notes) also went deep forNew York. Johnny Damon(notes) hit a tiebreaking, two-run double.

“This was my first time coming to this ballpark. It just seems like you’regoing to have a slugfest a lot,” Swisher said. “It was a great day for us.”

Pettitte settled down after a shaky start and even helped himself at theplate with a tying single. His six-inning outing was enough to earn his 17thpostseason win, extending his major league record.

“He closed off our left-handed hitters,” Philadelphia manager CharlieManuel said.

Especially slugger Ryan Howard(notes). The NL championship series MVP is 2 for 13with nine strikeouts in the Series.

Some fans were dressed in Phillies red—others in full costume for thesecond-ever World Series game on Halloween. They whipped around white rallytowels, but the trick was on them—their team got whipped when the Yankeesrallied.

Carlos Ruiz(notes) homered for the Phillies in the ninth off Phil Hughes(notes). MarianoRivera(notes) finished up at 12:42 a.m. in a non-save situation.

“It was an absolute grind tonight, that’s for sure,” Pettitte said. “Ican’t remember winning a game where I’ve struggled like I did tonight. So it’svery gratifying.”

With the Yankees down three runs, Mark Teixeira(notes) walked in the fourth andRodriguez hit an opposite-field drive deep into the right-field corner. Hecruised into second base with an apparent double after the ball ricocheted backonto the field.

Video replays, however, showed the ball struck the lens of a televisioncamera positioned just above the fence at the 330-foot sign. New York managerJoe Girardi came out to talk with right-field umpire Jeff Nelson(notes) as Philliespitching coach Rich Dubee visited the mound.

While Rodriguez chatted with Howard at second base, umpires huddled in theinfield. Four of the six went under the stands for a look at the replay andemerged about a minute later.

The signal: home run.

“I couldn’t see it,” A-Rod said. “When we got the call I was happy.”

Baseball adopted instant replay for boundary calls during the 2008 seasonand Rodriguez homered the first time it was used last year.

“It’s only fitting, right?” he said.

Rodriguez’s first hit in nine World Series at-bats was his sixth homer thispostseason, tying Bernie Williams’(notes) club record from 1996. It also was the 17thpostseason homer this year for the Yankees, setting a franchise mark.

The call seemed to give the Yankees a boost and help them break out of theirSeries slump—the team that led the majors in runs (915) and homers (244)during the regular season scored only four times in the first two games at home.

“It was much more like myself,” Rodriguez said. “Tonight I was a lot moredisciplined, and better results.”

New York kept hitting in the fifth and chased Hamels. Benched in Game 2 athome, Swisher opened with a double and slid home with the tying run whenPettitte looped a one-out single to center on a first-pitch breaking ball.

It was Pettitte’s third hit in 18 career postseason at-bats, second in WorldSeries play.

Who needs a designated hitter?

The Fox broadcast caught Derek Jeter(notes) saying to plate umpire Brian Gorman:“We’re going to have to listen to Pettitte now. He’s been bragging about hishitting all year.”

Jeter fisted a soft single and Damon cracked a two-run double toright-center for a 5-3 lead. Hamels was lifted after another walk to Teixeiraand walked off the mound to a mix of boos and cheers.

The lanky left-hander, who was 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in the postseason lastyear, fell to 1-2 with a 7.58 ERA in four outings this time around.

Swisher homered off rookie J.A. Happ(notes) in the sixth and took a long look athis solo shot to left, which made it 6-3.

Werth answered leading off the bottom half with a mammoth drive off thefacing of the second deck in left. After connecting, he slammed his bat to theground and glared into the Philadelphia dugout as if to urge on his teammates.

It was Werth’s seventh home run this postseason, one shy of the major leaguerecord held by Carlos Beltran(notes) (2004) and Barry Bonds(notes) (2002).

Jorge Posada’s(notes) RBI single in the seventh gave New York a three-run cushion.Matsui added an opposite-field solo shot to left in the eighth, his second homerin two games.

Matsui was on the bench because World Series rules don’t permit a DH inNational League parks.

Pettitte fell behind 3-0 in the second. Werth reached down for a breakingball and hit a leadoff homer to left, setting off fireworks and lighting up theLiberty Bell in right-center.

Pedro Feliz(notes) doubled off the right-field wall, Ruiz walked and Hamels’ buntsingle loaded the bases. Jimmy Rollins(notes) walked to force in a run and ShaneVictorino(notes) added a sacrifice fly.

Pettitte avoided further damage by striking out Chase Utley(notes), then settled inand held Philadelphia in check. That gave the Yankees a chance to come back.

The Phillie Phanatic was wearing a rain-slicker and fisherman’s hat when hehigh-fived Mike Schmidt as the Hall of Famer walked to the mound to throw outthe first pitch to Howard.

The grounds crew was still drying puddles on the warning track as thePhillies took the field.

Last season, Game 5 of the World Series between the Phillies and Tampa Baywas suspended for two days because of rain. Once it resumed—in the sixthinning—the Phillies went on to a 4-3 victory that clinched the championship.

Last year’s Game 3 started at 10:06 p.m. because of rain and didn’t enduntil 1:47 a.m. It was the latest start in Series history.

NOTES: The Phillies dropped to 11-2 at home the past two postseasons. …Nine of the past 10 teams to win Game 3 when the World Series was tied 1-allwent on to take the title. The exception was the 2003 Yankees, who lost the nextthree games to Florida.
