OF Matt Stairs served as the Phillies' DH in Game 2 and delivered an RBI single in the second inning. Manager Charlie Manuel said he considered using INF Greg Dobbs as the DH against Yankees RHP A.J. Burnett, but Dobbs was ill and unable to play. Dobbs is 4-for-6 with two RBIs in his career against Burnett. Instead, the Phillies went with Stairs, who had only three hits in his last 45 at-bats but was 3-for-11 with two homers and three RBIs against Burnett.
