Alex Rodriguez added another clutch hit to his fall resume, this one a tiebreaking RBI double in the ninth that cashed in savvy Johnny Damon baserunning, as the Yankees charged past the Phils for a 3-1 lead in the Series. Jorge Posada followed A-Rod with a two-run single of his own as the Yanks bailed out Joba Chamberlain.
