Early Sunday morning, the Phillies won their ninth straight game with an 11th inning victory over the Athletics. On Sunday afternoon, they’ll look to complete the sweep and earn their tenth win in a row. It would be their first double digit winning streak since 2010.
The Phillies will give the ball to Jesus Luzardo. The lefthander is having a spectacular debut season for the Phillies and is coming off a six inning/one run start against the Rockies.
The Athletics are streaking in the opposite direction, having lost eleven straight games. They’ll turn to rookie righthander Gunnar Hoglund, who has had a rocky rookie season so far. He’s coming off a start where he allowed five runs in 4.1 innings.
Game time is 4:05 PM and will be televised by NBCSP.
