Reversed home run call helps A-Rod, Yankees beat Phillies 8-5 to take 2-1 lead in World Series
By MIKE FITZPATRICK AP Baseball Writer (AP) 03:53:24 AM (ET), Sunday, November 1, 2009 (PHILADELPHIA) Guess who showed up for Halloween dressed as sluggers? The New York Yankees and Alex Rodriguez, whose double clanked off a television camera in the right-field corner and was ruled a home run in the first instant replay call in World Series history. It changed the game. "I think it woke our offense up a little bit," Rodriguez said after the Yankees rallied for a rain-delayed 8-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night that gave them a 2-1 Series lead. Rodriguez and the rest of those dangerous New York bats finally broke loose to back another postseason win by Andy Pettitte. Game 4 is Sunday night. Joe Blanton pitches against Yankees ace CC Sabathia, who goes on three days' rest for the second time this postseason.
