Phillies set doubleheader pitching matchups for Tuesday

After endless rain showers muddied the field at Citizens Bank Park on Monday the Phillies and Nationals are set to play a doubleheader on Tuesday.

Jake Arrieta will make his scheduled start in game one of the doubleheader after missing his start Monday night. Washington will also send Erick Fedde (1-3, 6.00 ERA) to the mound after his start was washed out.

Arrieta struck out a season-high 11 batters in Miami during his last outing.

Game one is scheduled for 3:05 with the hopes that the afternoon sun will help dry out the field, although that looks unlikely with clouds in the forecast for most of the day.
