The Phillies will take on the Cubs tonight at 8:00 PM EST, that is if the game isn’t smoked out. It seems Chicago is now dealing with the effects of the smoke from Canadian wildfires that postponed a Phillies-Tigers game at Citizens Bank Park earlier this month.
If the game does take place, it will be the first time the Phillies will return to Wrigley Field after a near season-ending disaster of a series in late September last year. While still fighting to hold the final Wild Card spot, the Phillies were swept out of the North side and scored a total of three runs in three games while going 2-22 with RISP.
