Starting time for Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is 7:57 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Andy Pettitte, whose 16 post-season wins are tops in major league history, will start for the Yankees. Cole Hamels, the Most Valuable Player of the 2008 series, starts for defending champion Philadelphia.
The weather forecast calls for a 60 percent chance of rain, with temperatures in the lower 50s and winds 10 to 15 mph.
Left-hander Cliff Lee got the win in the Phillies 6-1 victory in Game 1. A.J. Burnett, another lefty, was the winner in New York's 3-1 Game 2 victory. Both contests were at Yankee Stadium.
Chase Utley slugged two home runs for Philadelphia in the first game and Mark Teixeira and Hideki Matsui homered for New York in the second. Each homer was a solo shot.
The Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays in five games last season for just their second World Series title. The Yankees have won the series 26 times, more championships than any franchise in American major professional sports.

Philly
Looks like you were wrong about the Eagles douchebag
Just wait until tomorrow.
Just wait until tomorrow. Giants crush the Eagles and the Yankees take a 3-1 lead. Wouldn’t that be the worst day in Philadelphia sports history? It’s going to happen whether you like it or not?
