Phillies, Blue Jays head to Toronto in tied Series
Philadelphia plans to use lefties in pitching strategy
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies are using another left-hander against Toronto as the World Series shifts to Veterans Stadium for Game 3 tonight.
It is no secret that the best way to beat the Blue Jays is to pitch lefties. Toronto was 22-25 against left-handers this season and lost to Chicago's Wilson Alvarez, 6-1, in Game 3 of the AL playoffs.
The Phillies won Game 2 of the Series on Sunday night, 6-4, behind left-hander Terry Mullaholland. Muhlholland gave up three runs and seven hits in 5% innings at Toronto as Philadelphia evaded the World Series.
In Game 3, the Phillies will start Danny Jackson against Pat Hentgen, who led the Blue Jays with 19 victories in his first year as a starter.
The Blue Jays were 72-42 this season against right-handed pitchers. John Olerud, the major league's leading hitter with a .363 average, batted .396 with 20 homers against right-handers and .291 with only four homers against southpaws.
Roberto Alomar was a .359 hitter against right-handers and Tony Fernandez batted .333 compared to .254 against left-handers.
As a team, the Blue Jay's hit. 284 against right-handers compared to. 265. Toronto also had 121 homers against right-handers and 38 against lefties.
Jackson came up big for the Phillies in Game 4 of the NL playoffs after the Braves won the previous two games, 14-3 and 9-4. Philadelphia won the series in six games.
Jackson gave up one run in 7% innings and delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning to put the Phillies ahead. He said he didn't think Toronto's record against left-handers made a difference.
"I know what kind of players Toronto has, and as far as I'm concerned, when it comes to the playoffs and World Series, you can throw all the regular-season records out."
Jackson, 31, is no stranger to the postseason, helping four different teams make it to the playoffs or World Series — Kansas City, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and the Phillies. He was 12-11 this season with a 3.77 ERA.
Hentgen,19-9, is quite a contrast to Jackson, making his second start in the postseason this year.
"We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Pat," manager Cito Gaston said. "He was our most consistent pitcher all year."
Hentgen was hit hard in Game 3 of the playoffs against the White Sox, giving up six runs and nine hits in three innings at Toronto with a loss.
The right-hander found pitching on the road a lot easier this season, going 12-3 with

Henten said the key to beating the Philies is getting the top of the order out. "You have to get ahead of them. You have to keep Lenny Dykstra, Mariano Duncan and John Kruk off the bases."
Philly is full, but locals have room
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA—The Toronto Blue Jays found themselves shut out even before arriving in Philadelphia. When Blue Jays officials called to confirm their hotel reservations last week, they learned that the Hyatt in nearby Cherry Hill, N.J., had assigned their block of rooms to other guests by accident.
The Phillies saved the day, offering the Blue Jays rooms that had been set aside for Phillies scouts and officials in three hotels about 40 minutes from Veterans Stadium.
"We're all set," said Howard Starkman, public relations director for the Blue Jays. "This is not unusual in the cities that hold the World Series."
In the Philadelphia area, more than 12,000 hotel rooms are booked.
"This has been the toughest it has ever been to get hotel rooms," said Thomas Muldon, president of the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau.
If the glut of tourists means a lack of hotel rooms, 100 Philadelphia-area residents have

offered to open their homes and apartments to baseball fans this week.
Muldoon said that he received several offers in the past week, but that he thought the 6,000 rooms in the surrounding area would be able to absorb the crush.
"People just want to be good hosts, so they are opening their doors," Muldoon said yesterday. "We don't know if there is going to be a need for that, but they are available."
One of the folks offering free accommodations is Diane Young of suburban Newtown Square, Penn. She has a bedroom with a single and double bed and, as an extra courtesy, even offered to drive the visitors to the game.
"I am a big Phillies fan, and I think this is a marvelous chance to show visitors to this great city how important they are," she said. "People should help. This is a once-in-a-life situation. I have one room available, my son is away at school, and I'm happy to pitch in and be a good host."
Barbara Paulussen, suburban Bensalem,
Penn, lives with a dog, two cats and a daughter,
and has offered her home to guests because,
"I used to live in Philly, and I felt like helping out. I am just trying to be nice."
