Brett Gardner replaced Melky Cabrera in center field as a defensive substitution in the bottom of the sixth inning after Cabrera left the game due to a hamstring injury. Chan Ho Park relieved Blanton in the seventh and held the Yankees scoreless in that inning.
Chase Utley hit his third solo home run of the series in the bottom of the seventh with two outs, bringing the game to and chasing Sabathia from the game. Damaso Marte relieved Sabathia and got the final out of the seventh without further scoring. Ryan Madson relieved Park in the eighth and allowed a walk and a single but held the Yankees scoreless. Joba Chamberlain replaced Marte in the bottom of the inning.
He struck out the first two batters he faced but allowed a game-tying home run to Pedro Feliz before closing the inning. Brad Lidge came into the game in the ninth and gave up a two-out single to Damon—after a nine-pitch at bat. Then, with Mark Teixeira batting, Damon stole second and advanced to third as the base was uncovered due to a defensive shift against Teixeira.
Some believed that Damon's play made Lidge avoid throwing his best pitch — a slider that broke down into the dirt—for the rest of the inning as that pitch risked a wild pitch. Teixeira was then hit by a pitch and Alex Rodriguez put the Yankees ahead with a double to left field, scoring Damon. Posada added to that lead with a single which scored Teixeira and Rodriguez. Mariano Rivera entered in the bottom of the ninth and saved the game for the Yankees on eight pitches for his second save of the World Series.
The Yankees scored first during Game 5 in the first inning, with Johnny Damon reaching base with a single and then scoring on a two-out double by Alex Rodriguez. The Phillies responded in the bottom of the inning with a single by Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino reaching after being hit by a pitch, and finally a three-run home run by Chase Utley to take the lead.
Burnett was relieved by David Robertson with no outs in the inning who allowed another run to score on a Carlos Ruiz ground out before the inning was over.
Robertson held the Phillies scoreless for a second inning in the fourth. Jorge Posada entered as a pinch hitter in the fifth inning for Jose Molina and ground out. Eric Hinske then pinch hit for Robertson and walked, advanced to third on a Derek Jeter single, and scored on a ground out by Johnny Damon. Alfredo Aceves entered as the new Yankee pitcher in the bottom of the fifth. The first batter he faced, Jayson Werth, hit a deep drive to center field but it was caught for an out by Brett Gardner who collided into the outfield wall to complete the play.
Aceves completed the inning without a run scoring, inducing ground outs from Raul Ibanez and Carlos Ruiz. Phil Coke relieved Aceves in the seventh inning and helped two Phillies players tie World Series records. First, Chase Utley tied Reggie Jackson's record for most home runs in a World Series with a solo home run, his fifth of the series.
Coke then struck out Ryan Howard, Howard's 12th strikeout for the series, tying Willie Wilson's record for most strikeouts in a World Series. Finally, Coke was driven from the game after allowing another solo home run, this time to Raul Ibanez, and was relieved by Phil Hughes.
Shane Victorino was replaced defensively in the eighth inning by Ben Francisco. Phillies starter Cliff Lee was driven from the game after allowing a single to Johnny Damon followed by a double for Mark Teixeira and a double by Alex Rodriguez that scored both runners.
Chan Ho Park relieved Lee and induced a ground out from Nick Swisher which advanced Rodriguez to third base who scored on a sacrifice fly by Robinson Cano. Ryan Madson entered in the ninth to close the game, allowing a double to Jorge Posada and a single to Hideki Matsui without recording an out. Batting with men on first and third base Derek Jeter grounded into a double play, allowing Posada to score but emptying the bases. Johnny Damon would single to bring Mark Teixeira to bat as the potential tying run, but Madson struck Teixeira out to record his first World Series save.
The Yankees scored first during Game 6, the first Game 6 in a World Series since the World Series six years earlier and the longest such period in the history of the World Series, with an Alex Rodriguez walk opening the bottom of the second inning followed by a two-run home run by designated hitter Hideki Matsui.
The Phillies quickly responded with a triple by Carlos Ruiz and a run scoring on a Jimmy Rollins sacrifice fly in the top of the third. Matsui answered back, adding to the Yankees lead again with a single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the third, scoring Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon. Damon, injured running the bases while scoring, was replaced defensively in the top of the fourth by Jerry Hairston, Jr. Durbin allowed a ground rule double to Jeter, who advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Hairston and scored on a single by Mark Teixeira.
Durbin then hit Alex Rodriguez and was relieved by J. Happ after recording just one out. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours the box score even gives that item to the minute of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain.
