Game Preview

The Philadelphia Phillies are gearing up to welcome the New York Mets for a three-game set starting Friday, fortified by returning key players.

The Phillies, with an impressive 88-58 record, lead the NL East by eight games over the Mets and are nearing a division title. They’ve excelled lately, winning nine of their last 11 games and are further boosted by the return of Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto. Alec Bohm may also rejoin them soon.

Schwarber missed Wednesday’s game due to an elbow injury sustained during an awkward slide. Manager Rob Thomson expressed optimism about his recovery, noting it was improving but still impacting his swing.

Philadelphia comes off a successful series against the Tampa Bay Rays, which included a dramatic walk-off win and a strong collective team effort that saw them sweep the Rays.

Meanwhile, the Mets, after taking two out of three against the Blue Jays, remain in contention. They sparked a late comeback in their last game, initiated by a Francisco Lindor home run that kicked off a six-run ninth inning.

For the series opener, the Mets will start Jose Quintana (8-9, 4.09 ERA), who has been in fine form, yielding just one earned run over his last three starts. Quintana has mixed results against Philadelphia this year, but Mets manager Carlos Mendoza praises his old-school pitching style.

Philadelphia will counter with Aaron Nola (12-7, 3.41), who has a long history against the Mets and pitched a four-hit shutout in their last encounter this season.

As the teams prepare for Friday, key Mets players like Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Brandon Nimmo look to shake off recent slumps and contribute to their team’s playoff push.
