For the first time since 2011, the Phillies are atop the National League East

Phillies fans heading to the park today have an opportunity to watch their first place team compete against the Toronto Blue Jays in the rubber match of a three games series.

With rain in the area and rain delays being a constant this year it’s a real possibility we get to see more Phillies yearbooks or adult softball leagues. Heavy rain came through the area early Sunday morning with flash flood warnings.

Rain will be in the area this afternoon but shouldn’t affect the game until the later innings around 4 p.m.

Here’s everything needed for this afternoon’s scheduled game against Toronto with a familiar face on the mound.
