World Series. Game 3 between Astros and Phillies is postponed due to rain.

The third game of the World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros was postponed due to rain on Monday night, with the series tied. The third matchup will be played on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park. The teams practiced on the field before the tarp was placed around 5 p.m., about three hours before the first pitch.

The fourth game is scheduled for Wednesday and the fifth game will be played on Thursday, a day that was designated for travel. The fifth game will compete with an NFL matchup that will feature the Philadelphia Eagles visiting the Houston Texans.

How are the Astros and Phillies heading into Game 3 of the World Series?

After two games in Houston, the World Series moved to Philadelphia on Monday. The Astros had right-hander Lance McCullers assigned as the starter against Phillies right-hander Noah Syndergaard. It was not immediately clear if they will stick with their rotation.

The Astros had not designated a starter for the fourth game, while the Phillies had left-hander Ranger Suárez slated.

Memorably, the Phillies were crowned champions of the 2008 World Series with a victory in a fifth game that took three days to complete due to rain.
