Cole Hamels struck out nine in a five-hitter, Chase Utley homered and the Phillies advanced to the NLCS for the third straight season, beating the Reds 2-0 to complete the NLDS sweep.

The Phillies are alive, behind a swing that's defining the World Series, says Joe Posnanski. Chase Utley hit two homers as Philly beat the Yankees 8-6 to force a Game 6 in New York.

The Yankees' 27th World Series title will have to wait. Chase Utley hit two more home runs and the Phillies held off a Yankees' rally for a 8-6 win, forcing a Game 6 on Wednesday.

Look out for Cliff Lee, Chase Utley and this New Red Machine. Lee outdueled CC Sabathia, Utley homered twice and the Philadelphia Phillies kept rolling through October, beating the New York Yankees 6-1 on a misty Wednesday night in the World Series opener.

Game 1 goes to the Phillies. Cliff Lee went the distance, striking out 10 while Chase Utley hit two homers as the Phillies cruised past the Yankees 6-1 in the World Series opener.

Chase Utley homered off CC Sabathia in the third inning, and the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies took a 1-0 lead over the New York Yankees in Wednesday night's World Series opener.

Cliff Lee, matched up against his former Cleveland Indians teammate, limited New York to two hits over the first three innings and struck out four as the World Series returned to New York for the first time...

All eyes are on the Bronx, where the Yankees are gunning for their 27th World Series title, while the Phillies are looking for a repeat.

Chase Utley's homer has Philly leading 1-0 in Game 1.
