Following the tropical storm that sloshed through the region yesterday, the Phillies and Yankees are going to play baseball Ernie Banks-style today. In an unusual doubleheader, the teams will do a split kind of doubleheader where the Yankees will be the “home” team in Philadelphia, followed by another game in which the Phillies will become the home team in their own stadium. 2020 baseball, baby!
For the first game, here are the lineups. For the Phillies:
Here's our lineup for today's road game at Citizens Bank Park. #RingTheBell
