If there even is a game tonight…
The Dodgers haven’t lost a game yet and will come into Philadelphia tonight. It’s going to be a pretty cool weekend.
Jesús Luzardo will make his second start as a Phillie, Aaron Nola follows him, and Cristopher Sánchez gets the ball on Sunday. The bullpen will likely be short-handed since José Alvarado threw back-to-back days against the Rockies.
