The NLDS shifts to New York, and the Philadelphia Phillies head into hostile territory for Game 3 against the New York Mets at Citi Field on Tuesday. The best-of-five series is locked at one game apiece after the Phillies' epic comeback(s) in Game 2 on Sunday.
Clutch hits from Bryce Harper, Nick Castellanos and Bryson Stott helped revive a stagnant Phillies offense and they head to Flushing with a rejuvenated energy after a disappointing game and half to begin the series.

Probable pitchers for Phillies vs. Mets NLDS Game 3
Aaron Nola, in his third postseason with the Phillies, will make his third career NLDS Game 3 start today. He has pitched 11 2/3 innings in his previous two Game 3s, allowing two earned runs with 15 strikeouts. He's 1-1 in two starts against the Mets this season. One of those starts was a complete-game shutout at Citi Field in May.
Sean Manaea will start for the Mets today. The 32-year-old left-hander is a much different pitcher than the one the Phillies faced in the 2022 NLCS when he was with the San Diego Padres. He made one start in the Wild Card Series, giving up two runs on six hits over five innings against the Milwaukee Brewers. Manaea went 1-1 in three starts against the Phillies this season with a 5.40 ERA.
