The game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals has been postponed because of rain.

The start of Monday's game was delayed for nearly three hours before a decision was made to postpone. It will be made up at 1:05 p.m. as part of a day-night doubleheader Wednesday.

The four-game series will now begin Tuesday night. Neither team immediately announced its pitching plans for Tuesday.
