The Phillies will start veteran right-hander Aaron Nola (4-2, 3.67 ERA) today in search of his first win in three starts. Nola was stellar in April going 4-0 with a 2.06 ERA in five starts striking out 33 batters but did allow five home runs in a four-game stretch to close out the month.
New York will counter with Jose Butto (1-2, 3.00 ERA) who will make his 15th career start for the Mets and is five strikeouts away from breaking his career high of 38 set in nine outings last season.
Philadelphia ranks fifth in Major League Baseball with 50 home runs on the season led by the tandem of first baseman Bryce Harper and designated hitter Kyle Schwarber who each have nine homers so far this season. Schwarber hit 46 and 47 home runs in his first two seasons with the Phillies and is on pace for his fifth career 30-plus home run season.
The Phillies have dominated this series of late winning eight of the last 10 meetings dating back to July of 2023.
