The magic number for the Philadelphia Phillies is down to one. That means with a victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon, the Phillies would clinch their second straight National League East title.
It’s a good omen that today’s starting pitcher is Aaron Nola. Nola was the starting pitcher when they clinched playoff berths in both 2022 and 2023, and was also on the mound for the game when they sealed the division in 2024.
The Royals will try to delay the inevitable – and prevent themselves from getting swept – behind rookie pitcher Noah Cameron. The lefty is having a strong debut season with a 7-7 record and 3.00 ERA.
Game time is 1:35 PM and will be televised locally by NBCSP.
