Philadelphia Phillies probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. New York Mets, September 15
The lineups are set as Cristopher Sánchez and the Phillies look to take the series against the Mets on Sunday.
The Philadelphia Phillies (89-59) will look to secure the series win on Sunday against the New York Mets (81-67) after a thrilling 6-4 comeback win on Saturday.
The Phillies looked dead in the water in the first few innings of the game after Kolby Allard had a tough time finding the zone and went down 4-0 after three innings. But then Bryce Harper and Cal Stevenson happened.
Harper broke his 30-game home run drought with a solo shot to left field in the fourth and followed that up with a two-run round-tripper in the sixth to pull the Phillies to within one run. Stevenson then took over, coming up with a go-ahead two-run double in the seventh followed by a spectacular home-run robbing catch in center field in the top of the eighth.
You also can't overlook Taijuan Walker's contributions. The much-maligned starter-turned-reliever gave the Phillies three scoreless innings out of the bullpen, allowing just three hits to hold the Mets at bay while the bats got going.
Heading into Sunday's action, the Phillies' magic number to clinch both the division and a postseason berth sits at seven, as they hold an 8.0-game lead over both the Mets and Atlanta Braves. The Phillies are also welcoming third baseman Alec Bohm back to the lineup today after a stint on the 10-day IL with a left hand strain.
