<p>CINCINNATI &mdash; The series finale between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Cincinnati Reds scheduled for Wednesday was postponed because of rain.</p>
<p>The game will be played on June 28, which had been an off day for both teams. The Phillies must travel to Cincinnati for the single game after a road series at New York. The Reds will tack it to the front of a six-game homestand.</p>
<p>Ran began to fall in Cincinnati during Tuesday night’s game and didn’t stop overnight.</p>
<p>Wednesday’s game was to have been the first time this season that a capacity, mask-less crowd was allowed at Great American Ball Park, and the Reds had planned a slate of “Second Opening Day” festivities. COVID-19 restrictions had limited crowds to around 12,000 thus far. Most restrictions in the state of Ohio were removed beginning Wednesday.</p>
<p>The teams split the first two games, with the Reds winning 11-1 on Monday and the Phillies coming back with a 17-3 laugher on Tuesday night.</p>
<p>The Reds head to St. Louis for a four-game series with the Cardinals. After an off day Thursday, the Phillies go to Washington for a three-game weekend set.</p>
