In an attempt to dodge the rain — rather than playing through it for a second consecutive game — the Phillies moved the first pitch of Wednesday’s series finale against the Reds to 4:05 p.m., the team announced.

The game initially was scheduled to begin at 1:05 p.m.

Gates to Citizens Bank Park will open at 2:35 p.m., according to the Phillies. Because of the late time change, fans who purchased tickets will receive a 2024 ticket offer early next week, the team said.
