 The Twins have a 10-8 all-time record against Philadelphia, with the teams meeting most recently in 2016. The Phillies were 12-8 with a 2.78 team ERA in interleague games last season, their most interleague wins in any season all-time.

 Philadelphia suffered its first loss of the season on Wednesday against the Nationals, 9-8. The Phillies are averaging 7.8 runs per game (second in MLB -- Dodgers. 7.9), and their 39 runs scored are their most through five games since having 41 in 2010.

 The Twins have the same 4-1 record as the Phillies after sweeping a two-game set with the Royals in Kansas City. Last year Minnesota finished 23 games under .500 on the road (29-52, fifth worst in MLB), compared to 17 games over .500 at home (49-32).

 Minnesota ranks last in the majors with one home run this season (Nelson Cruz, Sunday vs. Indians). Their 17 doubles are third most in the majors, and their 3.4 doubles per game lead MLB.

 In his season debut Saturday against Cleveland, Jake Odorizzi allowed one hit in 6.0 innings while striking out 11 in a no-decision. It was the first outing by a Twins pitcher with 11 or more strikeouts and one or fewer hits allowed since Johan Santana on September 3, 2004 against the Royals.

 Bryce Harper leads the majors in batting (.500, 8/16), slugging (1.188) and on-base percentage (.652). He reached base safely eight times in 10 plate appearances over two games against Washington this week.

The Minnesota Twins will have ace Jose Berrios on the mound on Sunday afternoon at Philadelphia as they try to win their third consecutive series to begin the season.
Thanks to three off days, Berrios (1-0, 1.84) will be making his third start in just eight games for the Twins. The 2018 All-Star struck out a Minnesota Opening Day record 10 batters over 7 2/3 innings in a 2-0 victory over the Indians but came away with a no decision in his second start on Tuesday, a 5-4 win in 10 innings at Kansas City.
