The Phillies travel south to the controlled weather inside of Marlins Park, a retractable roof stadium, to take on the NL East Division rival Miami Marlins in a three game series.
The first two games against the hot Fish are evening 7:10pm affairs, while the Wednesday afternoon finale has a scheduled start time at 12:10pm.
An interesting wrinkle on this series developed over this past weekend. While the Phils were losing two of three in Pittsburgh, the Marlins lost one of their key starting pitchers, lefty Wei-Yin Chen, to injury.
The Marlins were already considered to be an active team in trade discussions to upgrade their rotation as next week’s MLB non-waiver trade deadline drew closer.
