PHILADELPHIA -- Alex Rodriguez's double and a two-run single by Jorge Posada were the deciding blows as the Yankees pounded Phillies closer Brad Lidge for three runs in the ninth inning on Sunday night, winning Game 4 of the World Series 7-4.

Philadelphia had tied the score 4-4 with an eighth-inning homer by Pedro Feliz off Joba Chamberlain but the Yankees struck back against Lidge. The Phillies couldn't answer back, with Mariano Rivera earning a save.

New York leads the Series three games to one. The Yankees' A.J. Burnett faces Cliff Lee in Game 5 on Monday night.
