New York Yankees fall behind Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 through six innings

by Marc Carig

The clouds still hang over Bright House Field, but the rain has gone away just long enough to play. So, the Philadelphia Phillies lead the Yankees 5-2 after six innings.

The Phillies rallied from a 2-1 deficit with four runs in the sixth inning, highlighted by Raul Ibanez's go-ahead double and Matt Stairs' two run homer to dead center. Yankees starter Chien-Ming Wang was knocked out of the game earlier in the inning.

Speaking of Wang, he followed Joe Girardi's strict orders. Forced to hit because the DH rule isn't in play, Wang went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts. Wang, who injured his right foot when running the bases last season, never swung the bat.
