The New York Yankees will continue their journey on the road to face the team with the best record in MLB this season. Aaron Boone and his squad will take on the Philadelphia Phillies as they open a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park.
New York defeated the Boston Red Sox in their last series, as their offense prevailed in Game 3. Carlos Rodon was impressive on the mound, surrendering only two runs, while the bullpen held the game. Jazz Chisholm recorded his first hit as a Yankee and drove in a run.
Looking to continue their success, the Bronx Bombers will send Luis Gil to the mound as their starter in Game 1. Gil has been one of the best pitchers in the starting rotation, with a strong 3.10 ERA. However, he's going up against one of the best offensive teams in the league.

Countering Gil will be Phillies ace Zach Wheeler. The righty has been a significant force for his team with a dominant 2.55 ERA and a 10-4 record. Wheeler has won most of his games with only a little support from the offense.
