Phillies Look To Avoid Sweep Tonight Against Mets

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Phillies will look to avoid a sweep tonight as they wrap up their four game series with the New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park.

Phils lost to New York last night, 9-4, as 42-year-old Bartolo Colon twirled seven shutout innings and the Mets pounded out 12 hits.

Tonight it will be Aaron Harang on the mound for the Phillies. The veteran right-hander is 5-14 this season with a 4.67 ERA. He did pitch well in his last start down in Miami, getting a no decision, allowing two runs on two hits in seven innings of work.
