MLB: Ruiz lifts Phillies to 4-3 win over Yankees; RBI for Victorino

NEW YORK — Carlos Ruiz hit a two-out RBI double in the 11th inning and the Philadelphia Phillies overcame another blown save by Brad Lidge to beat the New York Yankees 4-3 on Sunday.

Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino and Raul Ibanez each drove in a run for Philadelphia, which went 8-2 on its three-city, 10-day trip. The Phillies are a major league-best 16-6 on the road.

Clay Condrey (4-0), the Phillies' sixth pitcher, worked two scoreless innings.

Chase Utley got the winning rally started with a two-out walk against Brett Tomko (0-1). Utley stole second before Ruiz lined the ninth pitch of the at-bat down the third-base line.

A strong contingent of Phillies fans in the crowd of 46,986, the biggest at Yankee Stadium since opening day, cheered wildly as Utley scored.
