NEW YORK - Manager Jack McKeon had his jacket collar turned up over his chin, leaving his frown barely visible.

Pitcher Rick Helling shouted angrily into his glove. Shortstop Alex Gonzalez muttered to himself. Owner Jeffrey Loria shook his head and sagged in his seat.

Game 2 of the World Series was frustrating and frigid for the Florida Marlins, and the only consolation is that they're heading back to balmy Miami. They managed just six hits off Andy Pettitte, gave up early two home runs and lost 6-1 to the Yankees, who pulled even in the series at one game apiece.

The defeat ended Florida's postseason winning streak at four games.

"We were fired up to try to get the sweep here," said Derrek Lee, who drove in the Marlins' only run. "But we got a split. We'll take that."

The scrappy Marlins made the most of their speed and finesse to win 3-2 on Saturday, but in damp, breezy, 48-degree weather Sunday night, Florida struggled to get anything going.

The Marlins' lone run came on a ninth-inning error.

Like Pettitte, the Marlins' Mark Redman worked on three days' rest, but he wasn't nearly as sharp.

Redman left after 2 1/3 innings trailing 4-0. He gave up five hits, walked two and hit one, and his postseason ERA rose to 6.50 in four starts.

It was the second consecutive rough outing for Redman, who gave up nine hits and five runs in three innings in Game 7 of the NLCS against the Chicago Cubs.

Hideki Matsui hit a three-run homer off Redman in the first, and Alfonso Soriano added a two-run homer off Helling in the fourth. The lopsided score made the Yankee Stadium crowd much more lively than in Game 1, while in the visiting dugout the Marlins sat quietly, hands buried in the pockets of their jackets, hunched over and looking cold.

"It was pretty cold," Lee said. "It definitely wasn't Miami ... It'll be nice to get back in the heat and the humidity."

The weather should be at least 30 degrees warmer for Game 3 Tuesday, with Florida's Josh Beckett scheduled to pitch against Mike Mussina.
