Saturday's game postponed, Rotation set for Reds

August 27, 2011

Both games that were washed out by Hurricane Irene will now be played on September15th as a day-night doubleheader.

The first game is scheduled to start at 2:35 P.M. followed by the second game, which is scheduled for 7:35 P.M.

The Phillies have had nine of their last 18 games delayed or cancelled due to rain.

With all of this rain, pitching coach Rich Dubee's job has been tough as of late. Regardless, Dubee has made a set rotation for the upcoming series in Cinncinati, which begins on Monday.

Cole Hamels will be pitching in the series opener, after being on the DL for the past two weeks with shoulder inflamation.

Cliff Lee will pitch in the third game of the series, while Roy Halladay will pitch in game two to split the two lefthanders apart.

Halladay was scheduled to start today before the game was postponed.
