DENVER - The snow in Colorado scrapped Philadelphia's plans for Pedro Martinez to make his first postseason start in five years.
After Game 3 of the Rockies-Phillies playoff series was postponed because of winter weather Saturday, the Phillies announced a pitching change.
They will send rookie lefty J.A. Happ to the mound tonight instead of Martinez. Happ said he felt better after being knocked out of Game 2. He entered in relief and took a hard liner off his left leg in the seventh inning.
The Rockies are sticking with their scheduled Game 3 starter, former Rays right-hander Jason Hammel.
