Game 42: Yankees Look To Win 10 Straight As They Welcome The World Series Champion Phillies

The New York Yankees will look to stretch their winning streak to ten games Friday night when they take on the world champion Philadelphia Phillies in the start of a three-game series.

The matchup pins the league's two top offenses against each other. New York leads the majors with 66 home runs and ranks second in runs per game with 5.66, trailing first place Philadelphia, who averages 5.74 runs per game and tops the National League with 56 home runs.

Philadelphia is 6-1 during their 10-game road tripe, and they carry a 14-5 road record into the game, best in the majors.

The Yankees will send righthander A.J. Burnett (2-1, 5.02 ERA) to the mound. The righthander is winless at four outings in the stadium and hasn't recorded a win in his last six starts. The streak matches his longest winless streak, when he went 0-for-6 in his final seven appearances as member of the Florida Marlins in 2005.

Burnett is 5-7 with a 4.57 ERA in his career against the Phillies.

Pitcher Brett Myers (3-2, 4.50 ERA) will take the ball for the Phillies. The righthander is 3-0 in four road starts, and is the only Phillies pitcher to have a winning record.

Myers won his only start against the Yankees in 2006.
