Persistent rain in New York forced the postponement of Game Six of the American League Championship Series between the Yankees and the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday. The game was called off around two hours before its scheduled game time and has been rescheduled for Sunday with an 8:20 p.m. start time (0020 GMT). Game Seven, if necessary, would be played on Monday with first pitch at 7:57 p.m.
The Yankees lead the best-of-seven series 3-2, needing one more victory to reach the World Series against National League champion Philadelphia Phillies. New York manager Joe Girardi said he was sticking with left-hander Andy Pettitte as his Game Six starter, even though the rainout meant that ace CC Sabathia would have been available to take the mound on full rest.Los Angeles skipper Mike Scioscia said he was keeping his pitching options open in the potential elimination game for the Angels, who are expected to start left-hander Joe Saunders.
