The Philadelphia Phillies ended their long wait for a World Series title with a short burst of baseball as they clinched the crown by completing a rain-suspended 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. The Phillies captured their first Fall Classic title since 1980 in a unique, three-inning finish as they resumed Game Five, suspended in the middle of the sixth on Monday with the score tied 2-2 when the field became unplayable after rain. The victory gave the Phillies a 4-1 triumph in the best-of-seven series and ended a dream season for the Rays, who rebounded from the worst record in the majors last season.
