NEW YORK (AP)—Pedro Martinez is scheduled to start for the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 of the World Series on Thursday night at Yankee Stadium.
The 38-year-old Martinez has a long history of memorable moments against the New York Yankees from his days with the Boston Red Sox. The right-hander, signed by the Phillies in mid-July after he sat out the first half of the season, also spent 2005-08 in New York pitching for the Mets.
Cliff Lee will start Game 1 on Wednesday night for Philadelphia. Cole Hamels, last year’s World Series MVP, gets the ball in Game 3 at home.
CC Sabathia A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte will start the first three games for New York, but manager Joe Girardi on Tuesday would not reveal his pitching plans beyond that.
