Martinez beaten by Yanks. Jimmy Rollins strikes out with Carlos Ruiz on second in the fifth inning. The Phillies offense could only score one run, and Pedro Martinez allowed three in six-plus innings.The pitcher was clever and impressive, but A.J. Burnett was better. And Mariano Rivera, who struggled in the eighth but got Chase Utley to ground into a crucial double play, earned his record 38th postseason save. Because of those pitchers, the Yankees defeated the Phillies, 3-1, drawing even in the World Series with one win apiece -Philly.com

Pacquiao is training in Hollywood for his meeting with Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14 in Las Vegas, but the pound-for-pound champion spared a moment Thursday to evaluate his chances of fighting Mayweather, the unbeaten pay-per-view king.

“I don’t think it’s going to happen,” Pacquiao said. “I’m sure he doesn’t want to fight.” -AP
