Phillies Vs Mets And Nationals Vs Yankees

NEW YORK, NY — On Monday, August 25, the Philadelphia Phillies (76-54) are set to play against the New York Mets (69-61) at Citi Field. Pitcher Cristopher Sánchez is scheduled to take the mound for Philadelphia, while Kodai Senga will start for New York. This game is crucial for the Mets, who are trailing the Phillies by seven games in the National League East.

The Phillies recently secured two wins in a three-game series against the Washington Nationals, while the Mets managed to win two of three against the Atlanta Braves. This series is seen as a must-win for New York if they wish to retain any hope of winning the division.

In a separate matchup, the Washington Nationals (53-77) are in the Bronx to face the New York Yankees (70-60). Brad Lord will pitch for Washington, looking to recover from recent struggles. Cam Schlittler will be on the mound for New York, aiming to build on his recent strong performance of just one run allowed in 11.2 innings.

Both teams have had mixed results lately, with the Yankees dropping three of four games against the Boston Red Sox over the weekend. The Nationals lost two of three games against Philadelphia after a brief success against the Mets earlier in the week.
