PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Derek Jeter almost seems to delight in the way this World Series is playing out.
Forget all those power hitters. Pitching is priceless.
"I told you," he said with a smile.
Jeter and the New York Yankees totaled four runs in the first two games and still eked out a split at home. Now, the Series shifts to Philadelphia for Game 3 on Saturday night, with Cole Hamels set to start for the Phillies against fellow lefty Andy Pettitte.
Three wins from a second consecutive championship, Philadelphia could wrap it up at home. Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and crew can't wait to play before their fervent fans in the second-ever World Series game on Halloween.
