Yankees tie up Series ahead of Philly trip
Teixeira and Matsui hit solo homers off familiar foe Pedro Martinez, backing a sharp performance by AJ Burnett and giving the Yankees a 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 on Thursday night.
Burnett joined an elite list of Yankees pitchers on Thursday becoming the third to throw seven-plus innings in the World Series with nine or more strikeouts while allowing four or fewer hits and one or fewer earned runs.
