• The Phillies have won two series in a row for the first time since they opened the season with five wins in six outings against the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets. Philadelphia dropped a 9-5 decision to the Braves on Tuesday before rallying for consecutive walk-off victories. The Phillies benefited from a two-run homer by rookie Luke Williams in Wednesday’s 2-1 win and a two-run double in the 10th inning by Jean Segura in a 4-3 triumph the following day.

• Vince Velasquez (2-1, 4.33 ERA) will make his ninth start this season for the Phillies on Saturday. Velasquez has struggled in his last two starts, surrendering nine runs on as many hits in seven innings. Velasquez owns an 0-1 record with a 3.14 ERA in three games (two starts).

• The Yankees will look to rebound after a difficult 7-5 loss on the road to the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. Closer Aroldis Chapman allowed two home runs for his second blown save in 14 opportunities.

• The Yankees will send Jameson Taillon (1-4, 5.09) to the mound for his 12th start of the season. Taillon owns a 1-2 record with a 5.12 ERA in four career starts versus the Phillies.
