4:20 p.m. ET: The start of Wednesday's game was pushed back due to weather, but the Reds didn't give an expectation of when they'd be able to get going.

There are thunderstorms in the area, according to Accuweather, with a 51 percent chance of rain at 5 p.m. ET. The forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies at 6 p.m. ET with a 47 percent chance of rain.

Phillies vs. Reds pitching matchup

The Reds intend to have Hunter Greene take the mound against the Phillies after a lengthy absence. He's 4-3 in 11 starts this year with an ERA of 2.72. Last time out, he helped Cincinnati to a win over the red-hot Brewers by going five innings with five hits and two earned runs allowed. But that was back at the start of June. He missed two months with a strained right groin. He's having to wait just a bit longer for his return to action.

The Phillies are riding with Cristopher Sanchez. The lefty is 6-3 this year with an ERA of 2.39. His last outing was a good one. He went six innings against the Rangers, allowing six hits and one earned run on Aug. 8. In his last nine starts, he's given up more than one earned run just once.
