The Phillies game against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday has been pushed back from a scheduled 1:05 p.m. start to a 4:05 p.m. first pitch.

There is rain in the forecast for the third straight day, but the Phillies are hoping to get all three games in by pushing back the start time until the rain clears out. Weather cleared in time for Monday’s game which the Phillies lost to the Reds in 10 innings, while the teams played through a persistent rain Tuesday as Bryce Harper hit three home runs - including a grand slam - in a 9-4 win to split the first two games.
