Giants-Phillies postponed, setting up doubleheader on Thursday

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A game between the San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies was postponed Wednesday due to a forecast of inclement weather. It will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Thursday.

The first game will start at 12:30 p.m., followed by the second game at 5:35 p.m. The Phillies originally moved the start of Wednesday’s game up 30 minutes, to 6:10 p.m., because of the expected rain.

The Phillies (10-19) were set to play the second game under manager Don Mattingly, who took over for fired Rob Thomson on Tuesday when Philadelphia opened the three-game series with a 7-0 victory over the Giants (13-16).

Philadelphia had lost 11 of 12 contests prior to Tuesday’s win, including a 10-game losing streak over that stretch.

The arrival of AJ Dybantsa gives Wizards hope

For the first time in almost a half-century, the Washington Wizards could be closer to contending for an NBA title with the arrival of AJ Dybantsa. The team drafted the 6-foot-9 forward with the first pick of the 2026 NBA draft after finishing as one of the worst teams in the league in the past three years. They got the No. 1 overall pick after winning the draft lottery in May for the first time since 2010 -- when they drafted John Wall. The Wizards hope, with the arrival of Dybantsa, that they can start winning games and competing for the playoffs with a chance to win their first championship since 1978. In the past three seasons, they finished with a combined record of 50-196. “We’re definitely getting a difference maker on the basketball court. There’s no doubt about that,” Wizards general manager Will Dawkins said. “What I would want our fans to know night one is that he is a worker. He is a passionate person who loves basketball and will continue to work and get better.”
