Wednesday’s game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the San Francisco Giants was officially postponed after forecasts warned of heavy rain in Philadelphia. Officials had already attempted to adjust the start time, moving up the first pitch to 6:10 p.m. ET, but worsening conditions ultimately forced the postponement at Citizens Bank Park.

Game 2: 5:35 p.m. Eastern Time

The Don Mattingly era was briefly put on hold
The postponement delays what could have been a significant moment for the Phillies under new manager Don Mattingly.
Philadelphia entered the series having made a major leadership change, parting ways with Rob Thomson after a disappointing start. Mattingly’s tenure started strong with a 7-0 win in the series opener, but the momentum will now carry into Thursday.
Phillies look to take advantage of rare bright spot
Despite Tuesday’s victory, the Phillies remain under pressure with a 10-19 record, having lost 11 of their previous 12 games before that victory.
Key contributors like Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber will now try to turn that lone win into a potential series turnaround during the doubleheader.
Pitcher matchup and series context
Wednesday’s postponed game was to include:
Christopher Sánchez (Phillies)
Logan Webb (Giants)
It remains to be seen how the pitching rotations will be adjusted for the doubleheader.
The Giants, currently 13-16 under first-year manager Tony Vitello, will look to respond after being shut out in the opener.
What to expect next
With two games scheduled in one day, Thursday now becomes a crucial time for both teams.
For Philadelphia, it’s a chance to stabilize a turbulent season and build early momentum under Mattingly. For San Francisco, it’s a chance to quickly change the narrative after a one-sided loss.
