Philadelphia, PA - Double the fun with a doubleheader on Thursday, which kicks off the series against the Mets. Plus, fans are invited to the Goya Latino Family Celebration!
The Phillies will hold a single-admission doubleheader against the Mets on Thursday, August 16 (rescheduled from Saturday, May 12). Tickets purchased for August 16 are valid for both games of the doubleheader. The first game will begin at 4:05 p.m. and all gates will open at 3:05 p.m. The second game will begin 30 minutes after the end of the 4:05 p.m. game.
Before the first game, Will Power, winner of the 2018 Indianapolis 500, will throw out a ceremonial first pitch.
