Citizens Bank Park will be the site of an NLCS rematch on Friday night, with the Phillies hosting the Diamondbacks.

Last October, the Diamondbacks stunned the Phillies by winning Game 6 and Game 7 in Philadelphia to clinch the NL Pennant. 

Amid outsized expectations, things have gone poorly thus far for Arizona, which is still trying to find its footing in June. Outfielder Corbin Carroll, last year's rookie sensation, enters the weekend with a .630 OPS; young catcher Gabriel Moreno, another October bright spot, has an OPS of.632. 

But the Diamondbacks are showing signs of life: Entering play on Friday, they have won seven of their last 10 games, firmly in the crowded NL wild-card race. 

The Phillies, meanwhile, are tearing through the National League. Through Thursday, their 49-25 record trailed only the Yankees for the best mark in MLB. 

Alec Bohm and Bryce Harper are producing at a high-quality level, and now Trea Turner — sidelined six weeks with a hamstring injury — is back to reinforce an already-potent lineup. 

Here is everything that you need to know about Friday's NLCS rematch between the Phillies and Diamondbacks.
