PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies have made plans for Hurricane Irene.

They moved Sunday afternoon's game against the Florida Marlins to 1:05 p.m. ET Saturday as part of a day-night doubleheader at Citizens Bank Park. Tickets for Sunday's game will be honored for Saturday afternoon's game. The Cliff Lee gym bag giveaway, which had been scheduled for Sunday, also will be moved to Saturday afternoon.

Gates will open at 11:05 a.m. for the 1:05 p.m. game.

Saturday night's game will remain at 7:05 p.m., and fans with tickets to the Aug. 27 game should use tickets for that game, as originally intended. Gates will open at 6:05 p.m. for the night game.

Roy Halladay will pitch Game 1 of the doubleheader. He will face Anibal Sanchez. Cliff Lee will pitch Game 2. The Marlins have not announced their starter for the night game.
