Phillies-Giants game rained out, will be made up as doubleheader Thursday
Game 1 will begin at 12:35 p.m. and Game 2 will start at 5:35 p.m. on Thursday.
The weather made the decision easy for anyone choosing between watching the Phillies and Flyers on Wednesday night.
Because of updated weather forecasts, Wednesday’s Phillies-Giants game was postponed and will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Thursday.
Game 1 will begin at 12:35 p.m. and Game 2 will start at 5:35 p.m. on Thursday. All tickets from Wednesday’s game will be valid for Game 2, and gates will open at 4:35 p.m., pending completion of Game 1.
The Phillies are searching for their first series victory since taking two of three from the Rockies on April 3-5. They won the series opener against San Francisco on Tuesday, 7-0, in Don Mattingly’s debut as Phillies interim manager.
Cristopher Sánchez will start Game 1 of the doubleheader against Giants right-hander Logan Webb. The Phillies’ Game 2 starter has not yet been announced.
Say this for the Phillies: They are what we thought they were, a playoff contender led by two aces atop the starting rotation and a dominant closer. Pitching coach Caleb Cotham joins "Phillies Extra," The Inquirer's baseball podcast, to discuss the state of the Phillies' pitching, from the success of Cristopher Sanchez and Zack Wheeler to the struggles of Andrew Painter.
