The last time the Philadelphia Phillies visited Citi Field, they were embarrassed in historic fashion. A similar result seems unlikely this time considering how the Phillies and New York Mets have fared lately, including last weekend when they faced each other. Philadelphia got some revenge in that series and hope for more in this three-game set starting Friday night. The lone series between these NL East foes at Citi Field this year came May 25-27, and the Phillies were shut out three straight days for the first time since 1983. No team had blanked another in a three-game set since 2004, and the only other time the Mets did it was at Philadelphia in September 1969 en route to winning the World Series.

New York is unlikely to make another championship run, nine games behind first-place Atlanta due to its 9-17 record since the All-Star break. The Mets have hit .215 in that span while averaging 3.0 runs. The Phillies are within two games of the Braves thanks to their 16-4 record since July 21. During that stretch, the two-time reigning NL champions are batting .300 while averaging 5.5 runs. The teams hadn’t met since that series in New York until last weekend. Philadelphia totaled 13 runs and 23 hits in two wins and was shut out in the other game, but that came against Johan Santana and he won’t pitch in this series after throwing a four-hitter to beat Colorado 4-0 on Thursday. That win gave New York only its second series victory since June 27.
