 The Phillies went 12-7 against the Mets last season, their first season-series win over the Mets since 2011. The Phils were 7-3 at home against the Mets last year, but the Mets are 81-68 all-time at Citizens Bank Park, their top winning percentage (.544) at any of the 18 venues in which they have played at least 100 games.

 Jacob deGrom is 7-1 with a 2.23 ERA (and the Mets are 12-3) in his 15 starts vs. Philadelphia. Two of his three big-league complete games have come at Citizens Bank Park, including a one-hitter in 2016, and he has not allowed a home run over his last 31 2/3 innings pitched (over five starts) there.

 The Mets have played 20 games this year. In just one of their first 10 games did their bullpen not allow a run (four scoreless innings in the season opener), with a 6.46 ERA over that span; their relievers have blanked opponents in six of the last 10 games (3.10 ERA) and yielded just one run over four innings yesterday.

 Brandon Nimmo (.447) and Michael Conforto (.435) rank 8th and 10th in the majors in on-base percentage, and each has reached base safely at least once in every game he has batted this season. As a team, the Mets lead the majors with a .351 on-base percentage, though they rank only 17th in MLB in runs per game (4.5).

 Bryce Harper's career OPS in March and April is 1.025, seventh-best all-time (behind Ruth, Williams, Bonds, Foxx, McGwire & Hornsby, minimum 500 plate appearances in March/April). This year, Harper has started well once again, this time in July and August: He leads the majors with a 1.202 OPS.

 Alec Bohm's MLB debut yesterday was notable for a team whose lineup regularly features veterans from other organizations. This year, only 32.7 percent of the Phils' plate appearances have been made by players who have never played for another MLB club; the average for the 30 MLB teams is 51.7 percent.

HP - Porter, 1B - Barber, 2B - Wegner, 3B - Foster

The Philadelphia Phillies will be looking for a three-game series sweep against the visiting New York Mets on Sunday as right-hander Zack Wheeler faces his former team.
After going 11-8 with a 3.96 ERA for the Mets last season, Wheeler opted to sign a $118 million free agent contract with the team's biggest National League East rival, the Phillies.

Phillies go for sweep of Mets behind Wheeler

PHILADELPHIA (AP)  Andrew McCutchen entered as a mid-game injury replacement and hit a go-ahead, two-run home run to help the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 6-2 on Sunday and complete a three-game sweep.
McCutchen was hitting just .180 this season with no homers and got the day off against Mets starter Rick Porcello (1-3). Jay Bruce got the start in left field but was pulled in the fourth inning with a left quad injury.
