Now, with the storm getting closer, that will be the only game played on Saturday, according to the Phillies’ official Twitter account:
Game on Saturday, Aug 27 at 7:05 has been postponed due to threat of severe weather. Game will be made up on Thursday, Sept 15th. Time TBD.
So the Marlins and Phillies will play Friday night and then Saturday afternoon before both teams — and all Philadelphians — take shelter from the approaching storm.
