Phillies vs. Reds Weather Update: Will rain put a damper on Tuesday's game?

The Philadelphia Phillies and Cincinnati Reds are scheduled to resume their four-game series on Tuesday evening, but Mother Nature may have other plans. Game 2 of the series at Great American Ball Park is set for a 6:40 p.m. ET first pitch. While it looks like the game will start on time, there's a chance that rain may play a factor at some point during the evening.

The last time these two teams met in Philadelphia at the beginning of the month, they had weather problems. The April 3 series finale's start time was pushed back, and rumors spread that they had to get the game in because a wedding was booked for the next day — rumors that turned out to be patently false.

Phillies vs. Reds Weather Update: Will rain put a damper on Tuesday's game?

According to The Weather Channel, there's a 24 percent chance of rain in the six o'clock hour, with chances of rain increasing as the evening wears on. At 7:00 p.m., there's a 71 percent chance of rain, increasing to 94 percent at 8:00 p.m.

Since having their Opening Day game against the Atlanta Braves postponed by one day, the Phillies have had their fair share of wet weather early in the season, with plenty of games played in rainy conditions. The most recent game came on April 10 in St. Louis when Aaron Nola pushed through six cold, wet innings with reduced velocity.

Phillies planning to send Sánchez to the mound after another Suárez gem

The Phillies probable starter, Cristopher Sánchez is scheduled to face off against the Reds' Andrew Abbott. Sánchez faced Cincinnati in his season debut on April 1, going five innings, giving up two runs on five hits while striking out eight. He didn't get the win after Connor Brogdon gave up an extra-innings grand slam to the Spencer Steer.

In last night's series opener, Ranger Suárez continued the rotation's dominance. The lefty pitched seven shutout innings, allowing only two hits and five strikeouts. He was pulled after 88 pitches, with the Phillies opting to reduce his workload after his 112-pitch complete-game shutout last week.
