The Phillies look to get back in the win column behind the big right arm of ace Zack Wheeler, who gets the ball Tuesday night owning a 12-5 record with the third-best ERA (2.72) and fourth-best WHIP (0.98). Philly had won four straight games before falling, 6-4, to the Washington Nationals in the fourth game of that series. The Phillies enter the mid-week series with the Braves holding a seven-game lead in the NL East with a shot to deal a big blow to the Braves’ chances of catching them.

Right-hander Reynaldo Lopez (7-4, 2.06 ERA) is expected to get the ball for an Atlanta team that has won two straight but also lost third baseman Austin Riley for six to eight weeks with a broken hand. The Braves have won six of their past nine games to stay alive for their seventh straight NL East title while also sitting in position to capture one of the NL’s two Wild Card berths
