PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Chase Utley slammed two more home runs and the Philadelphia Phillies held on to beat the New York Yankees 8-6 Monday in Game 5 of the World Series.

Alex Rodriguez had three RBI for New York.
Cliff Lee pitched into the eighth inning for his second win of the series. Lee allowed seven hits and five runs.
The loser, A.J. Burnett, 1-1 in the series, was mauled for six runs and left the game in the third inning.
