As the lead off hitter of Friday night's Yankees/Phillies match up, Jimmy Rollins hit a home run to deep right off of A.J. Burnett. That pretty much set the tone for the evening and the Phillies would never surrender a lead as they beat the Yankees, 7-3.

After that initial run, the Phillies added 2 more in the second and 2 more in the fifth. The returning Chien-Ming Wang came in to start the seventh and he allowed 2 more runs over the final 3 innings. This allowed him to lower his season ERA from 34.50 to 25.00.

Phillies pitcher Brett Myers was in control, holding the Yankees scoreless through 6. A-Rod homered in the seventh, making it 5-1, Phillies. In the eighth, Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira would both connect on solo home runs, as well.

And, yeah, in case you didn't notice, there were home runs. Of the 10 runs scored, 8 of them were on home runs - and there were 7 home runs in all. Though, Seamus watched the game and said all but the first one probably go out anywhere.

With the loss, the Yankees winning streak ends at 9.

Jeter, Teixeira and A-Rod all had 2 hits, but the Yankees only had 8 hits in all and walked a grand total of zero times.

The series picks back up tomorrow with Andy Pettitte (4-1, 4.18) going against J.A. Happ (2-0, 2.49) at 4:10 PM ET.

Recap records: Patrick: 13–6, Seamus: 9–8, Andrew: 2–4.
