Thursday night’s Phillies–Mets game at Citizens Bank Park is moved up by about an hour because of air quality concerns, according to multiple reports.

The adjustment affects the beginning of the three-game series between Philadelphia and New York, with the first game of the series pushed up to the new time. The Athletic reports the change is driven by concerns about wildfire smoke and the resulting air conditions at the ballpark.

The reports indicate the change is intended to address ongoing conditions that could affect spectators’ health and comfort, as well as visibility during the game.
