The Phillies Wednesday night game against the Detroit Tigers has been postponed due to smoke from Canadian wildfires that has compromised air quality and visibility along the east coast.
The series finally will be played Thursday night at 6:05 p.m., which was conveniently the next closest off-day for both teams. The smoke also canceled the New York Yankees game against the Chicago White Sox.
"This alert means that the air is unhealthy to breathe, and some members of the general public may experience health effects," the Philadelphia Department of Public Health said.
