PHILADELPHIA — Saturday’s game between the Nationals and Phillies was postponed after heavy rain halted play in the middle of the second inning, with no letup in sight through the rest of the afternoon and evening.
It will be made up as part of a true doubleheader at 1:05 p.m. Sunday.
Heavy rain had been forecast all day, with a major system overtaking the entire East Coast, and games in Baltimore and Detroit had already been postponed, with a game in Pittsburgh delayed. The Phillies, though, elected to start the game on-time at 3:05 p.m., their right as the home team.
