The Philadelphia Phillies will play a pair of seven-inning doubleheaders against the New York Mets on Tuesday, as a result of Monday night’s series opener rainout.

The Joe Girardi-led squad will look to keep the momentum going after Alec Bohm‘s controversial slide — and home runs from Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins, and Didi Gregorius — powered them to victory in nationally televised action against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.

The shortened makeup games were first introduced during the pandemic-shortened season in 2020.
