Yankees Sweep Series

NY YANKEES 2, SAN DIEGO 1

BRONX, New York (Ticker) -- Joba Chamberlain turned in his most dominating start since moving into the rotation as the New York Yankees edged the San Diego Padres, 2-1, to extend their season-high winning streak to seven games. Chamberlain allowed one run and four hits in 5 2/3 innings with nine strikeouts, but he was a victim of poor run support for the second straight time and left with the game tied, 1-1. The Yankees snapped the tie on Alex Rodriguez's RBI single off Josh Banks (2-1) in the bottom of the sixth. It was the only hit for Rodriguez, who had homered in the previous four games. Jose Veras (2-0) tossed 1 1/3 hitless innings in relief of Chamberlain to record the win. Mariano Rivera struck out the side in the ninth for his 20th save
