Last update: November 2, 2009 - 11:40 PM

 

MVP

Chase Utley, Philadelphia

The second baseman whacked two home runs, including a three-run shot in the first inning that put the Phillies ahead to stay.

TURNING POINT

Ryan Madson was asked to close the game for the Phillies but promptly got into trouble by giving up a double and a single. But Madson then got Derek Jeter to ground into a double play, and all of Philadelphia exhaled.

BY THE NUMBERS

13 Consecutive starts for the Yankees this postseason where their starter went six innings, a streak that ended with A.J. Burnett's short stint Monday.
