PHILADELPHIA- (July 25, 2017) –  The Phillies broadcasting team of Tom McCarthy, John Kruk and Ben Davis will call the game overlooking the bullpen in Section 101, row 1 on Wednesday, July 26 when the team takes on the Houston Astros.  Additionally, Gregg Murphy will be in on the fun with special guest interviews.  The Phanatic will also be part of the broadcast, along with a number of surprises throughout the evening.
