DENVER – The snow in Colorado scrapped plans for Pedro Martinez’s first postseason start in five years.

Game 3 of the Philadelphia-Colorado National League Division Series was postponed Saturday because of weather better suited for cross-country skiing.

That prompted a pitching switch by the Phillies, with left-hander J.A. Happ going to the mound today instead of the 37-year-old Martinez. The Rockies are sticking with Jason Hammel.

Major League Baseball pushed back Game 3 to tonight and Game 4 to Monday.
