UPDATE: Nope. No game tonight. Postponed due to inclement weather, and they’ll try again tomorrow night.
The official announcement:
*original post follows*
With the series even at a game-a-piece things shift to Philadelphia for three games and the Phillies have a chance to end it in Philadelphia by sweeping the trio of games at Citizens Bank Ballpark this week. A daunting task, surely, but a possibility, nonetheless.
The Phils will send Noah Syndergaard to the mound tonight, hoping to get better results out of him than they got from Zach Wheeler and Aaron Nola in Houston.
Houston righted things in Game 2 after blowing a five-run lead the night previous and will look to take control of the series with Lance McCullers Jr. on the mound.
