The Phillies will now play 33 of their 60 regular season games at Citizens Bank Park this season

In June 2010, the Philadelphia Phillies hosted the Toronto Blue Jays as the road team at Citizens Bank Park due to the security concerns surrounding the G20 Summit.

The series featured the Phillies wearing their road gray uniforms and the use of the designated hitter, as the Blue Jays acted as the home squad, batting last with their walk-up music played.

Nearly one decade later, albeit under much different circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we will have a rematch.
