The Phillies’ game against the Diamondbacks was postponed 30 minutes after it began because the weather was poor. According to the MLB, the ideal conditions for a baseball game are 70 to 80 degrees, clear skies, and wind from the left to the right. The home team and Umpire-in-Chief have the final say on whether to postpone or delay a game.
The Nationals’ game with the Philadelphia Phillies was originally scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m. on Wednesday. However, Major League Baseball decided to postpone the game while the Nationals dealt with the outbreak of COVID-19. Specifically, 12 players were tested and placed on the IL for varying levels of illness. One of those players was Trea Turner, who tested positive for the virus on Tuesday. A team spokesperson said that only one player on the Nationals was unvaccinated, which is a good sign.
This is a great way for the Phillies to stay in the game and win a series. The team’s fans can expect a great game from their players. The Dodgers’ ace Max Scherzer pitched a stellar duel against JT Realmuto and Phillies first baseman Jean Segura. Unfortunately, the rain started just as Segura was on first base. His single was the only run allowed off Scherzer in three innings, but he struck out six times.
The Philadelphia Phillies are currently dealing with the same issue as the Diamondbacks. After all, there are several other teams in the National League that are dealing with COVID-19. Fortunately, none of those games is affected by the outbreak. In fact, three more games are postponed on Tuesday. The Brewers-Cubs game at Wrigley Field and the Mets-Nationals game in New York are also postponed on Tuesday night.
The Phillies and the Dodgers are both playing on Tuesday night. The Phillies have a rain delay policy for this game, which will be made up tomorrow as part of a straight doubleheader. The two games will be played in seven innings each. If the rain delay causes the game to be cancelled, the ticket holder will receive a credit for future games. The other games will be rescheduled, and the Phillies will have a chance to win the series.
The Phillies’ game against the Diamondbacks has been postponed by rain. The reason is unclear, but the weather is causing some inconveniences to fans and players alike. The first pitch of the game has already been delayed, so the game could be delayed a day or two. Therefore, if it is rained out, the Philadelphia Phillies will make it up to the fans by putting three players on the COVID-19 injured list.
