Phillies vs. Padres game postponed due to severe weather threat

In the United States, the Philadelphia Phillies announced the postponement of their scheduled game against the San Diego Padres due to inclement weather on Tuesday. The decision was made after the National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm watch and a flash flood watch for the Philadelphia region, with predictions of severe weather lasting until 9 p.m. As a result of this postponement, the game will be rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on Wednesday. The first game is set for 1:05 p.m. and the second for 6:15 p.m. Fans who purchased tickets for the originally scheduled game have the option to use their tickets for the evening match, allowing them to still enjoy the event despite the rain. The Phillies organization has confirmed there will be a fireworks celebration following the second game on Wednesday night, a previously planned entertainment feature that was originally scheduled for Tuesday’s game. The team also noted that due to the rescheduling, the earlier game will no longer host the Nemours Children's Health Kids Run the Bases promotion. Before the postponement, the Phillies played a successful game against the Padres on Monday night. Philadelphia triumphed in that match with a score of 4-0, with pitcher Zack Wheeler giving an outstanding performance, striking out 10 batters in eight shutout innings. Bryce Harper, who recently returned from injury, made his appearance but went 0 for 2 at the plate with one walk. Harper expressed relief regarding the improvement of his injured wrist, stating he felt significantly better compared to the previous weeks when he was on the injured list. Meanwhile, the New York Mets' opener against the Milwaukee Brewers was also postponed due to rain, resulting in their series being rescheduled to a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday as well. This match will begin at 1:10 p.m. The Mets have been struggling, holding a poor record since a significant injury to pitcher Kodai Senga, and their recent performance has raised concerns among fans and management alike.
