on three days' rest against the New York Yankees, a bit of a gamble by Marlins manager Jack McKeon. Carl Pavano will pitch a seventh game on short rest for the Marlins if the Series goes the full length.
Andy Pettitte, who beat Mark Redman in Game 2, starts Game 6 Saturday night for New York. If the Yankees win, Mike Mussina will pitch the seventh game for New York on Sunday.
By moving up Beckett and Pavano, McKeon bypassed Redman.
Beckett allowed just three hits Tuesday in Game 3 - all to Derek Jeter, but gave up two runs and took the loss, throwing 108 pitches in the Florida's 6-1 defeat.
