The Philadelphia Phillies are trying to prove they can keep hanging with some of the best teams in baseball.

The Yankees Ed Oliver Jersey , making their first trip to Philadelphia since the 2009 World Series, will go for their second straight win over the Phillies on Tuesday night. It could turn out to be a pitcher’s duel between Yankees ace Luis Severino against former Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta.

New York took the first game of the series 4-2 on Monday night and held Philadelphia to three hits. The Phillies (41-35) need to win the last two games in the set for their fifth consecutive series victory.

Three of those series wins have come against the Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals and Washington Nationals — who are all above .500.

Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said his team is embracing the tough stretch on the schedule.

“It shows we’re not scared of any situation. We don’t back down from any opponent,” Kapler told NBC Sports Philadelphia ahead of Monday’s series opener. “We’re resilient. When we have a loss like (Sunday) we bounce back the next day. We come prepared. We’re working in that clubhouse like animals, and we know this is not going to be an easy matchup by any stretch. But we’re prepared for it.”

The Yankees (51-25) have the best record in the majors, and they ended a season-worst three-game losing streak on Monday. The team did so with a healthy amount of New York fans among the 44,136 in attendance.

Severino (11-2 Cody Ford Jersey , 2.24 ERA) will try to give Yankees fans more to cheer about Tuesday.

Severino tied a season high by allowing eight hits in his last start. The Seattle Mariners scored three runs against the 24-year-old righty, but the Yankees still picked up a 4-3 win last Thursday.

“Every time they give me the ball, I want to go out there and have a good game,” Severino told reporters after the game. “Today, I wasn’t the best. Wasn’t feeling that good, wasn’t feeling that comfortable. I was missing some pitches and getting deep in counts. But we got a great team and got some runs.”

Severino, who has never faced the Phillies Devin Singletary Jersey , has allowed more than three earned runs in just one of his 16 starts in 2018. The Yankees are 14-2 when he pitches.

The Phillies, on the other hand, are just 6-8 in Arrieta’s 14 starts this year.

Arrieta (5-5, 3.42) has a 6.97 ERA in four starts this month. Arrieta did have his best start of June in his last outing, however. He struck out five and gave up three runs and four hits in six innings against the Cardinals last Wednesday.

Arrieta, who spent parts of four seasons with the Baltimore Orioles, has faced the Yankees eight times in his career. He is 3-1 with a 3.83 ERA and 1.213 WHIP in those games.

Outfielder Giancarlo Stanton and infielder Neil Walker are the Yankees with the most experience against Arrieta. Stanton is 2-for-11 with a solo home run Dawson Knox Jersey , and Walker has a .243 average in 37 at-bats.

With the Cardinals widely expected to draft Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray with the first overall pick, talk has been swirling that they’ll trade last year’s first-round quarterback, Josh Rosen, for the best offer they get.But that’s not necessarily the case.Drafting Murray and keeping Rosen could also be on the table. If the Cardinals don’t get a good offer for Rosen, they could decide to keep him and let him serve as Murray’s backup, or even let him compete with Murray for the starting job.Obviously, if the Cardinals draft Murray first overall Brian Burns Jersey , that means they’re nowhere near as sold on Rosen as they were last year, when they traded away their first-round pick, third-round pick and fifth-round pick to move up and draft him 10th overall. But those costs are sunk. Drafting Rosen last year isn’t a good reason not to take Murray this year, if head coach Kliff Kingsbury was telling the truth when he said last year that he thinks Murray is a great prospect and worthy of the first overall pick. And if no team is willing to give the Cardinals a first-round pick for Rosen, they might conclude that he’s more valuable to them as a backup quarterback than as a trade chip.From a salary cap perspective, Rosen isn’t too expensive to keep. His cap hit is $4 million this year, $4.8 million next year and $5.6 million the year after that. Plenty of teams spend more than that on their backup quarterbacks.Ian Rapoport reported on NFL Network that the Cardinals are in no hurry to trade Rosen Greg Little Jersey , won’t trade him unless they get a very good offer, and might keep both quarterbacks. Kevin Clark of TheRinger.com laid out the case that if the Cardinals do draft Murray and don’t trade Rosen, the worst-case scenario would be to have two young, cheap quarterbacks with a lot of promise.We don’t even know yet if the Cardinals will draft Murray, but if they do, a Rosen trade is not a sure thing.
