#Yankees-Phillies game Tuesday postponed amid Tropical Storm Isaias

Now it’s the weather forcing the Yankees and Phillies to juggle schedules.

Due to heavy rains linked to Tropical Storm Isaias headed to The Bronx on Tuesday, the Phillies-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium that night has been postponed. It will be made up as part of a doubleheader in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

The Yankees will be the home team in one game and the visitors in the other. The first game will start at 4:05 p.m. and the nightcap will begin 35 minutes after the final out of the first game.

The teams will play a single game on Thursday.

Two seven-inning doubleheaders in four days — the Yankees play the Rays in a doubleheader during the weekend in St. Petersburg — will certainly tax Aaron Boone’s pitching staff even though doubleheaders have been cut to seven-inning games this year.

The Phillies are scheduled to play the Yankees at the Stadium on Monday night. It was their first game since July 26 when they faced the Marlins in Philly. The Phillies’ season was paused because of the Marlins’ outbreak of COVID-19.
