Righty [Noah Syndergaard](https://www.mlb.com/player/noah-syndergaard-592789) was originally slated to pitch Game 3; Thomson said that Syndergaard would start Game 5 unless he is needed in relief, in which case righty [Kyle Gibson](https://www.mlb.com/player/kyle-gibson-502043) could start.

He worked a 12-pitch walk as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning in Game 2. But in Game 1 of the World Series, he used Alvarado in the fifth and Domínguez for 1 2/3 innings.

With rain in the forecast for most of the night, MLB and Phillies and Astros officials have postponed Game 3 of the World Series.

Before that, Phillies players were out on the field warming up.

After the Houston Astros evened the series 1-1 in Game 2 on Saturday night, the World Series shifts to Philadelphia for three games starting Monday night.

The Astros jumped him for two in the first three batters and three total in the first. The Astros could not have drawn up a better rejoinder to the hijinks of Game 1. There's a lot of rain projected through the night and into the morning. The Houston Astros did the heavy lifting. Game 3 will be played on Halloween, and the Phillies and their fans will attempt to turn Citizens Bank Park into a house of horrors for the Astros. The Houston starter failed to go three innings in his two World Series starts a year ago. That was both reassuring and concerning for the Phillies because this World Series is tied. If somebody got a hit through the shift, he got emotional. Bregman hit a two-run homer Saturday night in the Astros’ 5-2 victory over the Phillies, which evened the Series at one game each with the fun resuming on Monday night in Philadelphia. Syndergaard is no longer the force of nature who started for the Mets in the 2015 World Series, but a clean 3-4 innings from the pitcher once known as Thor could go a long way in preventing the Astros pitching depth from flipping this series on its head in Games 3 and 4. So far in this series, we have seen Phillies manager Rob Thomson be aggressive with his bullpen, to the point Ranger Suárez is no longer getting tapped for the Game 3 start. At the plate, one of the kids Schwarber kept together during a steamy, tumultuous summer in Philadelphia was taking his cuts.

Rain in Philadelphia forced the postponement of Game 3 of the World Series. The game between the Phillies and Astros will now be played on Tuesday.

21 in Game 3 of the ALCS against the New York Yankees. We do it in the regular season, I know that, but to do it in a World Series just didn’t seem like a good plan to me. The rainout allowed Phillies manager Rob Thomson to adjust his rotation, and instead of going with Noah Syndergaard in Game 3, he will now start Ranger Suarez, who pitched in relief in Game 1. But the fact that we would have both gotten in at 4, 5, in the morning. The undefeated Philadelphia Eagles are scheduled to play the Houston Texans on Thursday night in Houston. I didn’t want to play a World Series game in that.

Game 3 of the World Series between the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies, which had been scheduled for Monday night, has been postponed because of ...

The Astros, in their fourth World Series in six years, won 106 games in the regular season. The Phillies won with a home run by J.T. The game has been scheduled for Tuesday.

The Astros and Phillies' pitching plans will change for the rest of the week—and that forecasts well for one team.

“So you're hoping that the guys can get reservations, get in and eat, be with their families and be ready to play tomorrow.” • The Astros did get a chance to take batting practice and do some fielding exercises before the rain set in Monday. He pinch-hit to lead off the eighth inning of Game 2 and started by falling behind 0-2—which he then worked into a 12-pitch walk. “It's just—it's late in the season, velocity's dropped a little bit, he's fatigued. But since he was used in relief in Game 1, they’d originally decided to push his start back a day to Game 4, meaning they would need to use a bullpen game led by Noah Syndergaard for Game 3. They chose to go with the former: One, because Javier is a genuinely solid option, and two, because Verlander could use the extra day.

Not that you were ever worried about a sweep -- the Phillies are hot, but no one's that hot -- but Saturday's Game 2 action assured that this World Series ...

The crowds in Philadelphia have been all you could have hoped for and more, and they were just getting warmed up. Well, after a couple of singles in Game 1, Harper went 0-for-4 in Game 2, and he has scored only one run this Series and doesn’t have an extra-base hit yet. The first one was a huge one: A full-count hit-by-pitch in the ninth inning of the ALDS Game 1 against Seattle, the game in which Alvarez hit his famous walk-off homer. [planning to send out Syndergaard](https://www.mlb.com/phillies/news/noah-syndergaard-start-world-series-game-3-2022) to start his first World Series game since Game 3 of the 2015 World Series, when he earned a win for the Mets over the Royals. The hope heading into this Fall Classic was that Harper could carry this team, almost by himself, the way he was going. That really would be the ideal scenario for Syndergaard and the Phillies in this game: Three innings, one run, then hand it over to the bullpen. That game has another key parallel to this one as it will feature a passionate fanbase getting to witness its first World Series home game in a long time. The Astros have a DH problem. This will be his fourth appearance this postseason and his second start; he went three innings in the NLDS-clinching Game 4 against Atlanta, giving up just one run. Since that double though, he’s 6-for-15 and he was the spark plug in Game 1 that he has been for his entire Astros career. Altuve's leadoff double led to a three-run first inning, and he ended up going 3-for-4. and it sure looks, to these eyes, to be potentially going a lot longer than that.

Monday's rainout in Philadelphia has changed the rest of the schedule for the 2022 World Series.

Game 5 of the 2008 World Series was suspended due to rain in the sixth inning. Afterward, then-commissioner Bud Selig declared all World Series game must be a full nine innings. And that might have been 24 hours or 48 hours or who knows?" Light rain started to fall at Citizens Bank Park around 6 p.m. Coincidentally enough, Philadelphia was the site of MLB's most infamous World Series weather quandary. "I have to use my judgment. [Houston Astros](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/HOU/houston-astros/) and [Philadelphia Phillies](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/PHI/philadelphia-phillies/) will have to wait one more day to resume the 2022 World Series.
