Philadelphia Phillies v New York Yankees Live

The New York Yankees have been on a tear recently and put together an impressive 9 game winning streak. It looked like nobody could stop them until they ran head on into the surging Philadelphia Phillies. Brett Myers came through with one of his best pitching efforts of the year and the Phillies' bats came alive when it mattered the most. They smashed four home runs in all which was more than enough support for Myers who was on top of his game.

The Yankees are hoping to bounce back in game 2 of this three game set as they currently sit just a game and a half back from the AL East division lead. With the Blue Jays taking on the Braves and the Boston Red Sox taking on the New York Mets, this could be the week that the Yankees climb up into first place.

However the Phillies are not going to want to let that happen as they have their own divisional battle to work out. The problem for the team has been inconsistent pitching but it has really come around in the past week or so. They are hoping that their 3 and 4 pitchers can keep tabs on the Yankees while stars Cole Hamels and Brett Myers get the rest they deserve.
