IF YOU slept in today and have a ticket for tonight's Phillies-Mets game, you better head over to the ballpark pronto.
The final game of the penultimate series of the 2015 Phillies season was moved from a 7 p.m. start to an early matinee - first pitch is scheduled for 12:05 p.m. - because of inclement weather that's expected to arrive in Philadelphia at night. Gates open at 11:05 a.m.
The change was made late yesterday afternoon at the direction of Major League Baseball, because the Mets are still playing for postseason seeding. Earlier in the day, the Orioles-Blue Jays game in Baltimore was also moved from tonight to a noon start.
