Philadelphia at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Wednesday, September 2, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. After emphatically snapping a gaudy 10-game losing skid to the New York Mets, the visiting Philadelphia Phillies look to secure a series victory when the National League East rivals play the rubber match of the set at Citi Field on Wednesday. Darin Ruf collected a career-high six RBIs in Tuesday's 14-8 victory for Philadelphia, which had been outscored by a decisive 86-44 margin en route to losing 13 of the previous 14 meetings this season. Hardly considered a Mets' killer, Ruf entered the game 9-for-63 with 19 strikeouts against the club and is 0-for-3 in his career versus Wednesday starter Matt Harvey. While the cellar-dwelling Phillies have won just three of their last nine, New York has dropped three of five following a seven-game winning streak and leads second-place Washington by 6 1/2 games in the NL East. Michael Conforto continued his sterling play at the plate with a pair of hits, improving to 14-for-32 with two homers and seven runs scored in his last 11 contests. The rookie has torched the Phillies during his brief career, going 9-for-21 in six games. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, CSN Philadelphia, SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Aaron Nola (5-1, 3.26 ERA) vs. Mets RH Matt Harvey (11-7, 2.48) Nola turned in his second straight scintillating start on Friday after allowing Justin Upton's solo homer and one other hit in seven innings of a 7-1 triumph over San Diego. The seventh overall pick of the 2014 draft, Nola has won his last five decisions since suffering a hard-luck loss in his major-league debut on July 21. The 22-year-old has permitted three or fewer runs in six of his eight outings and six hits or fewer in seven of them. Harvey recorded his second straight no-decision despite scattering just two hits over six scoreless innings against Boston on Friday. The 26-year-old has yielded four earned runs and 26 hits in his last 41 2/3 frames, posting a 3-0 mark in the process. Harvey has split a pair of decisions this season versus Philadelphia, but owns a 5-1 career mark against ithe Phillies with a 1.99 ERA and 0.77 WHIP while limiting the struggling club to a .168 batting average. WALK-OFFS: 1. New York OF Yoenis Cespedes, who launched a two-run homer on Tuesday, has gone deep four times in six career contests versus Philadelphia. 2. Phillies CF Darnell Sweeney drove in three runs on Tuesday to double his RBI total this season. 3. Mets C Travis d'Arnaud, who was originally signed by Philadelphia, is 11-for-30 with 10 RBIs against the Phillies this season.

Aaron Nola was the 7th overall draft pick in 2014, four years after Harvey was taken in that same spot. And while Nola is NOT from New Orleans, he is from Louisiana, Baton Rouge to be specific. Was a top prospect both in the Phils system and for MLB in general this past winter.

Per Rubin: Infielder Wilmer Flores is away from the New York Mets on Wednesday. Flores traveled to his native Venezuela to be with his ailing grandfather. Flores may rejoin the Mets on Friday in Miami.

Anybody seen Dilson Herrera of late?

Edgy MD Sep 02 2015 05:14 PM Re: I.G.T. 9/2/15 Philth @ Mets Harvey Day

He led off the game last night with a homer for Las Vegas, which turned out to be the winning margin as they barely held on for a one-run victory over the El Paso Chihuahuas, sitting just a half game behind the first-place 51s. Nice to see Harvey pitching without the chrome insignia logo.

Edgy MD Sep 02 2015 05:16 PM Re: I.G.T. 9/2/15 Philth @ Mets Harvey Day

Harvey didn't come here for no bullshit.

Edgy MD Sep 02 2015 05:33 PM Re: I.G.T. 9/2/15 Philth @ Mets Harvey Day

Eric Campbell is your backup shortstop tonight, with Ruben home in Venezuela visiting his ailing grandfather.

Verizon Trivia: When was the last time Mets pitchers led the league in batting average? I'm going with 1985.

Mets hit the board first. Sweeney seemed like he wasn't tracking that very confidently.

Guy in white shirt, you could have caught him. And then he starts waving. Was he waiving for medical assistance or waving Tejada around the bases?

Was he waiving for medical assistance or waving Tejada around the bases? I think he was further away than he looked. Otherwise Browns feet would have hit him.

Murphy out of the game with at least two ailments according to Phils Booth. One mild, one not so much. Both involved muscles. Woah, Cespedes goes wild!

Ashie62 Sep 02 2015 06:41 PM Re: I.G.T. 9/2/15 Philth @ Mets Harvey Day

6-3, already fearing our bullpen.

Zvon Sep 02 2015 06:52 PM Re: I.G.T. 9/2/15 Philth @ Mets Harvey Day

Matt can really help his cause here. OOO, deep fly out to center. 7-3 Mets in the 6th. Just for posterity's sake I should mention that when Phillie Brown went over the wall a few innings ago the end result was an inside the park home run for little Ruben Tejada.

I can't take this Phils booth any longer. They say Tejada should have caught that line single. He should have...what? Tried a little harder? And the replay shows T full extension just barely getting leather on the ball through extreme effort and the guy just keeps on talking " oh, he should have caught that". ComeONNN! I'll see how un synched the TV is with MLBtv on the PC. Here I come Howie!

Zvon Sep 02 2015 07:06 PM Re: I.G.T. 9/2/15 Philth @ Mets Harvey Day

Phils TV, Mets radio booth. Even though Howie's like 5 seconds ahead, this is pretty kool. Muffy muscle: Howie says not serious.

Two brain-farts tonight by Cespedes, and the last out at third Keef is hailing it as good try?

Nats up 2-1 via HRs from Werth & Zimmerman But somehow they're still only in the 5th inning (even though they're nearly 2 hours into a low-scoring game) and Scherzer's pitch count is high (80+ thru 4.1 IP) And the Cards are threatening: 1st & 3rd/1 out in the 5th

It was in the midst of that Tuesday night blowout so the booth can be excused somewhat for straying off topics.
