Overview

  • Friday’s game at Citizens Bank Park starts at 6:45 p.m. ET and will stream exclusively on Apple TV+, with Ranger Suárez facing Bryce Elder.
  • The win followed a Mets sweep that trimmed Philadelphia’s division margin before the Phillies pushed it back to five games, per USA TODAY.
  • Kyle Schwarber went 4-for-6 with four home runs and nine RBIs, giving him 49 on the season and moving him within one of his first 50-homer year.
  • Aaron Nola started the opener opposite Cal Quantrill after pregame framing as a potential statement outing for the right-hander.
  • Atlanta sits 61-73 and is largely in spoiler mode, with the Phillies now leading the season series 6-4 and owning one of the NL’s best home records.
