Sabathia To Start World Series Game 4 For Yankees

NY's Stud Lefty Will Face Phillies Sunday On Short Rest; Burnett, Pettitte May Also Get Call On 3 Days Rest In Games 5, 6

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) ― CC Sabathia will start Game 4 of the World Series for the New York Yankees on three days' rest.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Saturday it's possible A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte also could come back on short rest later in the Series, leaving New York with a three-man rotation. Sabathia would pitch a possible seventh game.

Sabathia lost to Cliff Lee in the opener and is 3-1 with a 1.52 ERA in four postseason starts. He will face Joe Blanton in Game 4 Sunday night.

Girardi did not completely commit to Burnett for Game 5 Monday. He said Chad Gaudin was still an option, but he appeared to lean toward Burnett, who beat the Phillies in Game 2 on Thursday.

The Series is tied at a game apiece. Game 3 will be played Saturday night, with a battle of left-handers: the Yankees' Andy Pettitte faces off against Philadelphia's Cole Hamels.
