The season-opening series between the Brooklyn Superbas and the Philadelphia Phillies returns to Philadelphia. The first game was in Philadelphia. The second game was in Brooklyn. Today's game is in Philadelphia and then there will be a day off before the final game of this series again in Phillies. That's about some Rob Manfred Logic there!
