NATIONALS ANNOUNCE GATE TIMES FOR SATURDAY’S DAY-NIGHT DOUBLEHEADER VS. PHILLIES

The Washington Nationals today announced gate times for Saturday’s day-night doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies. The centerfield gates at Nationals Park will open at 10:30 a.m. (all gates open at 11:30 a.m.) in advance of the 1:05 p.m. contest. Preceding the 7:05 p.m. nightcap, the centerfield gates will open at 5 p.m. (all gates open at 5:30 p.m.) or one hour after the completion of the afternoon contest, whichever is later. The two games against the World Champion Phillies will require separate admission.

Saturday’s 1:05 p.m. game was originally scheduled for April 15, but was postponed due to inclement weather. Fans purchasing tickets to the afternoon contest will have the opportunity to take advantage of Value Game pricing, with the majority of tickets reduced by as much as $5.

Season-ticket and mini-plan holders, whose ticket plans include tickets for the postponed April 15 contest, should retain their
tickets for use during the rescheduled game at 1:05 p.m.

Those with individual-game tickets (all non-season and non-mini-plan tickets) to the postponed April 15 contest may use
those tickets for the same seats to Saturday's 1:05 p.m. contest or may exchange their tickets for any other 2009 Nationals regular-season home game, excluding the three-game series against the Boston Red Sox from June 23-25.

Individual-game ticket holders who possess tickets from the April 15 contest can exchange their tickets at the Nationals Park
Main Box Office, located at the corner of N and Half Streets, SE. Nationals Park Box Office hours are Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. All rain check exchanges are subject to availability.

Jackie Robinson Day, originally scheduled for April 15, will be celebrated prior to and during Saturday’s 7:05 p.m. contest.

breaking baseball’s color barrier in 1947. The first 10,000 fans at the 7:05 p.m. game will receive a commemorative No. 42 Jackie Robinson button.

The Nationals return home from their current roadtrip on Friday (May 15) for 11 games in 10 days. Individual-game tickets and
