Because of inclement weather, first pitch of Wednesday’s Phillies-Giants game has been moved up to 6:10 p.m.

The game was scheduled for 6:40 p.m. The schedule change is intended to accommodate anticipated evening rain showers. Cristopher Sánchez is lined up to start for the Phillies opposite San Francisco right-hander Logan Webb.

Gates will still open at the same times: The third base/left field gates will open at 4:40 p.m., and the rest of the gates open at 5:10 p.m.

The Phillies won the series opener, 7-0, on Tuesday, in Don Mattingly’s debut as interim manager.
