The Philadelphia Phillies, baseball’s best team, will try to extend their six-game winning streak on Friday night when they head west to Coors Field to play the Colorado Rockies.
It’s the start of a six-game road trip for the Phillies (37-14, first in the NL East).
Game time is 8:40 p.m. EDT and you can watch it on NBC Sports Philadelphia, which is available to live stream on fubo TV (FREE trial). MLB TV is also carrying the game, which you can live stream on ESPN+, fubo TV (add-on), Sling TV (add-on, first-month discount)), and DirecTV Stream (add-on, discount and FREE trial).
Cristopher Sanchez (2-3, 3.31 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 47 strikeouts) will start for the Phillies and Ty Blach (1-2, 5.14 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 10 strikeouts) will take the ball for the Rockies.
Colorado (16-33, fifth in the NL West) had an awful April but then found some momentum in mid-May, winning seven straight including a sweep of the defending champion Texas Rangers. Since then, the Rockies have lost five out of six.
Riding a high with the best record in baseball, the Phillies are 29-6 over their last 35 games, which matches the best 35-game span in franchise history, last done in 1892.
The Phillies lead the NL East by six games over the Atlanta Braves thanks to a torrid May during which they have gone 17-3 and just completed their seventh sweep of the season on Thursday when they toppled the Rangers by a 5-2 score. Zack Wheeler tossed seven strong innings and J.T. Realmuto and Nick Castellanos homered in the win.
