The Phillies’ epic fall run in defense of their World Series title fell short — barely. Chase Utley was held homerless in Game 6, ending the Fall Classic tied for a record five, and the Phils couldn’t become just the fourth National League team to win back-to-back world championships.

The Phillies rode Chase Utley’s record-tying fourth and fifth homers of the World Series and another sparkling start by Cliff Lee to force the Fall Classic back to the Bronx down, 3-2. Utley’s homer output has equaled Reggie Jackson’s historic display in 1977 for the Yankees.
