The scheduled game between the Philadelphia Phillies and host Washington Nationals was rained out Monday night.
The game was slated to begin at 7:05 p.m. ET and was called at 10 p.m. It will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Wednesday, with games at 1:05 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. Pitchers have not been announced. The starters Monday were going to be the Phillies' Jake Arrieta (6-5, 4.31 ERA) and the Nationals' Patrick Corbin (5-5, 4.11).
Regularly scheduled games are on for Tuesday and Thursday at 7:05 p.m. The Phillies make their third and final trip to Washington in late September.
Both teams were involved in blowouts Sunday. Washington's Matt Adams, who avoided a trip to the injured list on the last road trip, hit two homers and drove in a career-high seven RBIs as the Nationals won 15-5 over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Phillies lost 15-1 in Atlanta to the Braves.
Bryce Harper, who signed as a free agent with Philadelphia from Washington, will be making his second trip to the nation's capital as a visiting player.
Harper was 5-for-7 in two games at Washington in April, with a double, a homer and three RBIs.
