Boston ace Chris Sale will start the opening game of the World Series on Tuesday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday during a radio interview.
The left-hander was scratched from his second start in the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros due to a stomach illness. Sale last pitched in Saturday's Game 1 loss to Houston.
Cora said that left-hander David Price, who pitched superbly in Thursday's Game 5 ALCS-clinching win over Houston, probably will start Game 2.
Cora said he wants to see who his team will face in the World Series before making the Game 2 starter official.
The Los Angeles Dodgers hold a 3-2 edge over the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series heading into Friday's Game 6.
