Lance McCullers and Noah Syndergaard were scheduled to start Monday night.

Philly manager Rob Thomson said Ranger Suárez will now start Game 3, followed by Aaron Nola in Game 4 and Syndergaard in Game 5. Zack Wheeler's turn in the rotation will remain the same. The Astros are not planning to change their rotation.

The series is tied 1-1 after two competitive games in Houston. The Phillies rallied from a five-run deficit to take Game 1 in 10 innings last Friday. On Saturday, the Astros built another five-run lead and held on for a 5-2 victory in Game 2.
