This hot Sunday afternoon will feature a matchup of two all-star hurlers as Cliff Lee and Matt Harvey close out the three game series at Citi Field. The series is currently split and the Phillies hope for a series split to keep them with a winning record.
The Mets are…the Mets. But with Marlon Byrd still annihilating the Phillies, they face their toughest challenge of the series.
Game notes:
- This headline is overdone
