Phillies move start time of Wednesday’s game up due to weather
Initially scheduled for 6:40 p.m., the game will start at 6:10 p.m. to accommodate anticipated evening rain showers.
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.
Hunter Pence's 368-day stint with the Phillies was a study in extremes. Acquired at the trade deadline in 2011 as the missing right-handed bat for a World Series contender, he got dealt a year later by an underachieving team. And with the Phillies in full-on crisis mode this week, Pence sits down with "Phillies Extra," the Inquirer's baseball podcast, to discuss how quickly a team's fortunes can change. Watch here.
