For some inexplicable reason the Philadelphia Phillies decided to try to get this one started at 3:05 PM in spite of the forecast that predicted rain and lots of it for the entire afternoon and night.
One and a half innings in, the rain in Citizens Bank Park, which was light at the start, picked up in intensity as Philly lefty Adam Morgan completed his second scoreless frame on the mound and the tarp came out.
About two hours later, the Phillies made the announcement that the game was officially postponed.
They'll play a doubleheaders tomorrow starting at 1:05 PM EDT.
