Pedro Martinez will get another shot to win a World Series game at Yankee Stadium. Martinez, who lost Game 2, will start Game 6 on Wednesday as the Philadelphia Phillies try and force a Game 7.
"He should go anywhere ... six, seven innings in a game, maybe longer, depends on how many pitches he throws early," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.
The New York Yankees likely will start Game 3 winner Andy Pettitte (FSY) on three days' rest.
Manager Joe Girardi (FSY) said he would name a starter after the Yankees work out on Tuesday.
"Physically I've got to see how he is," Girardi said. "He threw on the side today and felt good."
If there is a decisive Game 7, Phillies ace Cliff Lee could earn the start on two days' rest
"As far as my availability, I'm available," Lee said after winning Game 5.
Manuel bypassed Lee for a Game 4 start on three days' rest because he wanted to keep him on his regular schedule.
"I'll talk to him about what he thinks about if he can pitch at all or something," said Manuel.
