The NLDS Game 3 between the Phillies and Rockies has been postponed to Sunday due to record-breaking cold and snow flurries expected to fall in Denver Saturday night. Game 3 is now scheduled for Sunday 10:07 ET, with Game 4 pushed back to Monday.

The Phillies' Pedro Martinez, who was originally scheduled to start Game 3, has been bumped from his spot in favor of J.A. Happ. The new Game 4 starter will be Cliff Lee.

"I made the only (decision) that I could," the commissioner told Foxsports.com. "You know, I did this for over 40 years with the Brewers, when I had to take weather into consideration. [Game 5] last year only increased my resolve that we want to take no chance with our game. This is a no-brainer with the weather forecast."
