Starting Pitchers LAD- O Perez NYA - CC Sabathia
Game Summary- Game 2 looked good again for the Dodgers early as they scored two runs in the first on a Milton Bradley Single. But CC Sabathia recovered from his first inning struggles to pitch a masterful game and the Yankees bats came alive with a vengeance late in the game. The onslaught started in the bottom of the fourth where a Jorge Posada solo blast and Robinson Cano run scoring single tied the score at two. A 2 run homer by Melky Cabrera in the fifth gave the Yankees the lead and they never looked back. A six run 8^th which included a Derek Jeter grand slam sealed the game and send the series to LA knotted up at 1 apiece.
