Phils host Braves as MLB celebrates Jackie

The Phillies open a three-game series tonight (7:05 ET) against the Braves at Citizens Bank Park. It is their first game at home since Aug. 16. They just finished a 4-5 road trip, with the final game vs. the Nationals being postponed Thursday as they tried to refocus attention on police brutality and social injustice. It figures to give Friday's Jackie Robinson Day celebration extra meaning. Right-hander Zack Wheeler will start for Philadelphia, while Atlanta will counter with righty Robbie Erlin. The game will be broadcast live on MLB.TV.
