Mattie T’s Game 4 Recap of the 2009 World Series
Written by The Go-To-Man Mattie T. on November 2, 2009
Alex Rodriguez continued to show positive signs with the bat on Sunday evening, as his 9th inning RBI double proved to be the game-winner during the New York Yankees’ 7-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Brad Lidge’s nearly masterful postseason came to an end, as he had not allowed an earned run in 8 consecutive bullpen appearences dating back to September 28th against Houston.
After Rodriguez’s RBI double, Jorge Posada put the game away with a 2-run single that now puts New York just one win away from capturing their 27th World Series title.
Yankees leftfielder Johnny Damon finished 3-for-5 with a 5th inning RBI single & scored 2 runs, as he’s hitting .294 for the series.
Phillies 3rd baseman Pedro Feliz went 3-for-4 with a 4th inning game-tying single & an 8th inning game-tying homer in a losing effort.
Joba Chamberlain gets the win despite allowing Feliz’s homer, while Mariano Rivera pitched a perfect 9th inning for his 2nd save.
Cliff Lee will try to keep Philadelphia’s season alive tonight in Game 5, as the former Indians lefty has dominated throughout the postseason with a 0.54 ERA in 33 1/3 innings pitched, which includes 30 strikeouts & just 3 walks.
