Picking up where they left off last fall, the New York Yankees put on another impressive offensive display against the Philadelphia Phillies in the opener of a three-game series in the Bronx. With Alex Rodriguez hoping to return Wednesday night, that domination has a very good chance to continue as the teams that battled for six games in the 2009 World Series head in opposite directions. Rodriguez hopes to be back in the starting lineup - either at third base or as the designated hitter - after he sat out New York’s 8-3 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday night - the fourth straight game the star third baseman has missed because of a groin injury. The three-time MVP was hitting .317 in the last 10 games before the injury sidelined him. He went 0 for 8 with six strikeouts in the first two games of the ’09 World Series, but was 5 for 12 with six RBIs over the final four games.
The Yankees haven’t slowed offensively even without Rodriguez, scoring 30 runs over their last four games. On Tuesday, Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira and Nick Swisher homered off Roy Halladay as New York won its ninth in a row at home and scored at least six runs for the fifth straight game against the Phillies. While New York is a season-high 18 games over .500, Philadelphia continues to slump and has dropped into third place in the NL East. The Phillies have lost four of five and 15 of 21, giving up eight or more runs in four of their last six games. The Phillies will try to bounce back when they face A.J. Burnett, who had a forgettable start when he faced them in Game 5, giving up six runs while walking four in two innings of an 8-6 loss in Philadelphia. However, he was dominant in Game 2 at home, allowing one run and striking out nine in seven innings of a 3-1 win.
