Phillies at Mets

Shiti Field

7:10PM EDT on CSN

Jeremy Hellickson (10-7) 3.60 ERA

PHILLIES: Hellickson did something Saturday against the Cardinals that no Phillies starter had done since July 26: He pitched seven innings, snapping a 21-game streak of starters pitching fewer than seven innings.

Noah Syndergaard (11-7) 2.61 ERA

METS: Efficiency had been Syndergaard’s bugaboo until his last outing, in which he needed just 98 pitches to complete eight innings. Syndergaard has faced the Phillies just once this season, holding them to one run in seven innings back in April.
