Phillies and Nationals move up doubleheader to Friday as storm moves up East Coast

CHICAGO — The Phillies-Nationals doubleheader scheduled for Saturday has been moved up to Friday with rain expected to hit Washington as a byproduct of Hurricane Ian’s path up the East Coast.

The 7:05 p.m. game scheduled for Saturday was moved to 1:05 p.m. on Friday with Bailey Falter getting the start, and will be followed by a 7:05 p.m. game with Noah Syndergaard scheduled to pitch. The 1:05 p.m. game on Saturday will be played as originally scheduled, and Kyle Gibson will start that one.

The Phillies sent Falter and Syndergaard to Washington on Thursday ahead of the team’s charter plane.
