The Philadelphia Phillies look to extend their win streak to four-games on Saturday in the second game of a three-game set against the Houston Astros.
The Phillies will send Zack Wheeler to the mound on Saturday afternoon in Houston. Wheeler is looking to make it three wins in a row on the mound.
Houston will counter with righty Cristian Javier. The 26-year-old has yet to lose this season in 28.0 innings pitched.
A fun fact, this is the first time either pitcher will matchup against their opponent team in the regular season according to Baseball Reference. Wheeler has never faced the Astros in the regular season and Javier has never faced the Phillies. Both pitchers started games in the 2022 World Series.
First pitch is set for 5:10 PM/EDT from Minute Maid Park in Houston.
