A.J Burnett was completely ineffective going on just three days rest. Burnett lasted just two innings, and surrendered six earned runs while walking four batters.
Cliff Lee wasn't his usual dominant self, but held the Yankees at bay while getting plenty of run support. Lee did manage to go deep into the game though, going seven innings while getting touched up for five runs and walking an uncharacteristic three batters.
The Yankees will now turn to Andy Pettitte, who will also be pitching on short rest. The Phillies will counter with Pedro Martinez.
