First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 PM ET, with national broadcast coverage on FOX and streaming available via MLB.TV.
This is the fifth meeting of the season between these two division contenders. The Mets lead the season series 3–1, having swept the Phillies in April. However, the Phillies are red-hot, winning 8 of their last 10, while the Mets are trying to snap a four-game road losing streak. With both teams separated by just one game in the standings, this matchup could have major implications for playoff seeding and the NL East crown.
