Friday night's game between the Phillies and Miami Marlins at Citizens Bank Park was postponed because of rain. The teams will play a single-admission doubleheader on Saturday.

The first game of Saturday's doubleheader is slated to begin at 4:05 p.m. Gates open at 3:05 p.m. Those with tickets to Friday's game may exchange them for Saturday's doubleheader, Sunday's regular-season finale or any 2016 home game, the Phillies said.

Aaron Harang will start the first game for the Phillies, and Alec Asher is slated for game two. Asher, 23, started on Wednesday but threw only 43 pitches before he was pulled after allowing five runs in just 2/3 of an inning. He enters with a 9.00 ERA in six starts.

Righthander Tom Koehler will start the first game for Miami and lefthander Justin Nicolino will oppose Asher in the second game.
