DENVER, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Pedro Martinez, who joined the Philadelphia Phillies in mid-season, will be their starting pitcher in Game 3 of National League Division Series.
Philadelphia Manager Charlie Manual had considered starting Joe Blanton or J.A. Happ but decided on Martinez, a 37-year-old right-hander who last pitched nearly two weeks ago in a game against Houston, a report on the Phillies team Web site said Friday.
