They were equal-opportunity offenders, tossing mistake after mistake, to ensure their team would end up on the wrong side of the Game 1 of the World Series.On a night when the Yankees had a microscopic margin for error, their bullpen failed miserably.
The Philadelphia Phillies' Ryan Howard got the first hit of the 2009 World Series by doubling in the 1st inning. Howard was stranded in the first and the game was tied 0-0 after 2 innings. The Phillies scored first with a two-out solo home-run by Chase Utley in the top of the third inning.
Through the first five innings, Philadelphia starting pitcher Cliff Lee allowed no runs and only three hits and striking out seven Yankees' batters . In the top of the 6th, Chase Utley homered again with one out and nobody on to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead.
The stellar pitching by Lee and Yankee's starter, CC Sabathia, continued until the top of the 8th when Sabathia was replaced by Phil Hughes. Hughes walked the first two batters and was quickly replaced by Dámaso Marté.
Marté got two quick outs and was relieved by David Robertson who walked Jayson Werth and gave up a two-run single to Raúl Ibáñez.The Phillies added two more runs in the 9th with an RBI single by Shane Victorino and an RBI double by Ryan Howard.
The star of the game was Phillies' starter Cliff Lee who, after giving up an unearned run in the 9th, finished with a complete game only allowing just the one run on six hits and striking out ten batters, not walking any of the hitters he faced, and making some notable fielding plays.
