The Philadelphia Phillies head into Fenway Park tonight looking to build on their opening series win over the Boston Red Sox.
Last night's success for the Phillies came from their strong pitching performance and timely hits from Kyle Schwarber and Bryson Stott that earned their 2-1 win.
The Phillies continue to lean on their core stars, with two left-handed batters Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber driving the front of the order.
When the Phillies offense is clicking, they have shown they can score in bunches quickly, especially against starting pitching that falls behind in counts.
Meanwhile, Boston returns to Fenway looking to even the series behind a lineup anchored by Willson Contreras, the leading run producer for the Boston Red Sox so far this season.
At home, the Red Sox have been more productive offensively particularly when they're able to work deep counts and use Fenway's unique dimensions to their advantage.
Local fans can watch on NESN (Boston) and NBC Sports Philadelphia, or the game can be streamed on MLB TV and Fubo.
