With the postponement of tonight’s game against the Braves and subsequent rescheduling as part of a double header on Sunday the challenge for the Phillies of playing the remaining 53 games which was already steep got a little more difficult.
Here’s a look at the schedule and how the pitching rotation might possibly be set up ... they now have six double headers ahead of them.
