Altoona Curve @ Reading Fightin Phils
July 11, 2027 · 1950 Centre Ave, Reading
About the event
The Altoona Curve visit FirstEnergy Stadium to face the Reading Fightin Phils, bringing a familiar in state matchup to the ballpark on July 11, 2027. Reading plays in the Double-A Eastern League as the affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, while the Curve arrive as the Double-A club of the Pittsburgh Pirates, so both rosters are stocked with prospects working their way toward the big leagues.
Double-A baseball is where a lot of future major leaguers get their first real test, and Reading has a long track record of hosting them. Fightin Phils alumni include Mike Schmidt, Scott Rolen, Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard and Aaron Nola. Games at FirstEnergy Stadium tend to move along at a good pace, with pitching changes and lineup shuffles giving fans plenty to follow inning by inning.
The ballpark itself is part of the draw. FirstEnergy Stadium is one of the oldest and most storied parks in the Eastern League, and the Fightin Phils are known for a crew of mascots led by Screwball, plus the between innings entertainment that makes a night here easy for kids and grandparents alike. Bring a glove, get there early, and settle in for an evening of baseball close to home.
Hosted by Reading Fightin Phils on BerksConnect.
