The Braves’ scheduled Tuesday night game against the Phillies was postponed because of rain and will be made up as part of a conventional doubleheader Wednesday beginning at 12:05 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park.
R.A. Dickey, who was scheduled to pitch Tuesday, will start the first game of the doubleheader. Julio Teheran will start the second game, set to begin about 30 minutes after the first game ends.
The Phillies switched the order of their scheduled Tuesday-Wednesday starters and will have right-hander Jerad Eickhoff start game 1 of the doubleheader. Right-hander Mark Leiter Jr., who was to have started Tuesday, will pitch the second game.
The Braves lost the opener of the three-game series Monday by a 6-1 score to give them a 2-12 record against the last-place Phillies, including an 0-8 record at Citizens Bank Park. Wednesday’s games will be the last of the season between the teams in Philadelphia.
The Braves host the Phillies once more in a three-game series Sept. 22-24 at SunTrust Park, the final home series before the Braves close the season with seven games on the road against the Mets and Marlins.
