PHILADELPHIA — Game 3 of the World Series was postponed Monday because of rain, with the Houston Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies tied at one game apiece. The series is scheduled to resume Tuesday, and in place of eliminating the built-in travel day, each game will be pushed back one day.
The day off between Games 5 and 6 will be moved from Thursday to Friday, and if there is a Game 7, it will be played Sunday night, pitting the World Series against Sunday night football. Baseball officials had hoped to avoid that, because the N.F.L. is generally a ratings behemoth.
