Even though Phillies manager Charlie Manuel and pitching coach Rich Dubee preferred to schedule the makeup game against the Brewers for Monday, a mutual day off for the teams, Phillies and Brewers players voted to play a split-admission, day-night doubleheader Sunday. The opener will start at 1:35 p.m. EDT, with the second game following at 7:35 p.m.

"I talked to the players, and we would rather play a doubleheader," said shortstop Jimmy Rollins, the Phillies' player representative. "We've done it before. It's a day-night, so it's not like you're going out there right after one game. We'll get it in and preserve the off-day."

Even if the Phillies' players voted to play Monday, Rollins said the Brewers had a right to veto that decision. The Brewers haven't had a day off since Aug. 29. If they had lost Monday, they would've played on 24 consecutive days, and the players' association must approve of a team playing on more than 20 straight days.

Manuel was unmoved.

"I don't like doubleheaders," he said. "It's tough to win a doubleheader. It's also better for our pitching if we play straight through. Everything falls better that way."

Nevertheless, ace lefty Cole Hamels (12-9, 3.12 ERA) will start for the Phillies on Saturday against Brewers lefty Manny Parra (10-7, 4.09). Right-hander Joe Blanton (2-0, 4.61) will start one game Sunday, likely the matinee opener, and Myers (9-11, 4.22) will start the other. The Brewers will use right-handers Dave Bush (9-10, 4.23) and Jeff Suppan (10-8, 4.63) Sunday.

BREWERS at PHILLIES, PPD: Friday's game was postponed by rain and will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Sunday.
