Pedro Martinez pitched well for the Phillies but gave up two solo shot home runs by Mark Teixeira and Hideki Matsui and a run on a single by Posada in the seventh.
The Yankees used the one two punch of Burnett and the final two innings by Mariano Rivera to hold the Phillies to one run on just six hits.
The series now heads back to Philly for game three Saturday night.
