"Joba Chamberlain went back to basics Monday. Relying on little more than the fastball that made him a cult hero back in 2007, Chamberlain threw a perfect inning of relief in the Yankees' 7-1 win over the Phillies at Steinbrenner Field.
Chamberlain, who had allowed two runs on two hits and two walks in his last outing on Saturday, retired Shane Victorino, Placido Polanco and Jimmy Rollins in order in the fourth inning Monday. "I felt great; I didn't even throw any of my secondary pitches," Chamberlain said. "I felt good with my heater, pitched off of that the whole inning and then threw one changeup to Jimmy. I have to just pitch off my heater.""
