Cliff Lee dominated in game one of the World Series and Chase Utley made history at the plate for the Philadelphia Phillies in their 6-1 win over the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium Wednesday night.

Lee went all nine innings, giving up one run, none earned, on six hits. He did not walk a single New York hitter and the first time the Yankees had more than one base runner in an inning was the ninth.

Lee struck out 10 batters including Alex Rodriguez in three of his four at bats. The final two outs by Lee came via strikeout after allowing Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon to record hits to start the inning. Jeter scored on what should have been a double play ball off the bat of Mark Teixeira but Jimmy Rollins committed a throwing error.

For Lee, he has now started four games this postseason, pitching 33 1/3 innings and has only allowed two earned runs.

C.C. Sabathia pitched seven innings for the Yankees, and only made two mistakes all night. Unfortunately for him, those two mistakes were solo home runs by Chase Utley. Utley became the 19th player all-time to hit two home runs in a World Series game. The last player to do it was Ryan Howard last year in game four against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Utley’s two home runs also made him only the second player in World Series history to hit two home runs in a lefty versus lefty situation. The only other player to do it was Babe Ruth in 1928.

Once Sabathia exited the game the Yankees bullpen struggled. Phil Hughes walked Rollins and Shane Victorino to start the eighth inning and then was pulled. Both ended up scoring on Raul Ibanez’s 2-RBI single through the hole between first and second off David Robertson.

Brian Bruney then allowed two more runs in the ninth inning. In the two innings New York used five relief pitchers. Early on in the series the Phillies have the advantage of a rested bullpen.

Game two is Thursday night at 7:57 p.m. on FOX. The telling stat I will leave you with is the fact that in the past six World Series matchups, the team that won game one has gone on to win the series. We will have to wait and see if the Phillies make it seven in a row.
