This is not September 2007 or September 2008 for Philadelphia Phils and New York Mets.
But the National League East rivals have been in historical positions on Friday, along with opening three-marks series in Philadelphia.
The ace right-handed zack wheeler (7-2, 2.76 ERA) is slate to start for the philos.
Mets will counter Ruki Ruki Right-Hand Blade Tidwell (0–1, 14.73), who will be called back from Triple-e-Syracuse to start their second career. He will capture the earlier rotation spots conducted by Tyler Megil, who went with a right elbow sprain in the 15 -day injured list on Tuesday.
Phillies and METS kept walking in opposite directions on the road on Thursday night. Kyle Schwarber hit Philadelphia to lead Philadelphia to win the Tie-Brakeing Homer 2–1 on Miami Marlins at the conclusion of the four-game series. The winning of the last eight matches was Philips’ seventh.
Meanwhile, New York suffered its sixth straightforward loss with a shock of 7–1 for Atlanta brave.
The results created a tie above NL East between the mets and the philos, each of which is 45–30. Philadelphia has deficient 5 1/2-game by going 6–1 against Marlins and Toronto Blue Jais from 12 June.
The quick growth by the Philos and a sudden collapse by the Mets reminds of the 2007 and 2008 sessions, when Philadelphia removed the September shortage of September to climb New York and win two of its five directly NL East Crowns.
“I feel really good what we have done here, and now we have found to move forward,” Rob Thomson, the manager of Phillies, said his team said after taking three to four games from Marlins. “We have really faced a good club. And we have got our fan base in front of us, and it will be an exciting weekend.”
Enthusiasts have been in low supply for Mets, which had the best record in baseball before tolerating the streak of their longest necklace since 2-9 June 2023.
New York has been dropped from 41–14 while flowing by Braves and Tampa Bay rays. In this season, Mets were not flowing in their first 22 series.
The recession has been killed by a part of the pitching injuries for the mets, who have placed Megil, Kodai Seng (Right Hamstrings) and Max Cranic (Elbia) in the injured list since June 13.
Mets Fielder Brandon Nimmo said, “It seemed that we were looking for a way to win the ballgems, when we were able to go through a good stretch, some were able to return and make some return.” “The games are decided by this level small margin (AT). This is something you just have to face, through it and have to push through it and have to try and get as soon as possible as soon as possible.”
The wheeler won last Sunday in his previous beginning when he gave two runs (one earned) in six innings as Philis defeated Blue Jais 11–4. He is 5–5 with 3.53 ERA in 16 career, begins against Mets, with which he played from 2013 to 2019.
Tidwell did not pitch at Major from 4 May when he suffered losses at the beginning of his major league after allowing six runs in 3 2/3 innings, as Mates fell 6–5 in St. Louis Cardinals.
