Snow-out News: J.A. Happ to start Game 3 Sunday


The Phillies have altered their rotation with today's snow postponement.

J.A. Happ, not Pedro Martinez, will start Sunday night's Game 3 against the Colorado Rockies. Martinez was originally on tap to start.

The Phillies will most likely throw all left-handers at the Rockies this series. Since Game 4 is now on Monday and not Sunday, Cliff Lee could come back and start then instead of Game 5.

If there is a Game 5, Cole Hamels would most likely get the call.

The Rockies are 27-26 against left-handed starters this year and hit around 10 points lower overall.

Happ shut out the Rockies, striking out a season-high 10 batters, on August 5.
