WASHINGTON _ The Phillies spent another night at the ballpark without playing a game as Tuesday night's contest at Nationals Park was postponed following a two-hour rain delay.
The game against the Nationals will be rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader on Sept. 24. The Phillies will return Wednesday to Nationals Park for a doubleheader that was scheduled after Monday's game was postponed.
Zach Eflin will face left-handed Patrick Corbin in Wednesday's first game. Jake Arrieta, who was rained out on Monday and Tuesday, will start Wednesday's nightcap. The Nationals did not announce a starter. The Phillies could catch a break on Wednesday if Nationals starter Max Scherzer is unable to pitch after he broke his nose Tuesday afternoon on a bunt during batting practice.
