Two National League foes meet when the surging Phillies take on the Giants as a part of 'Friday Night Baseball' on Apple TV+.
The Phillies return home on the heels of a vastly successful road trip; Philadelphia posted a 7-3 mark, rattling off wins in six of its last seven games. In fact, after beginning the season a modest 8-8, the Phillies have won 13 of 16.
Their success is spurred by stalwart pitching, with their top four starters all thriving. That includes Friday night's starter, Aaron Nola, who is 4-1 with a 3.20 ERA.
The Giants made a bevy of splashes in the offseason, inking Jorge Soler, Blake Snell, and Matt Chapman to headline a free agency frenzy. But thus far, San Francisco has endured a frustrating season, sitting below .500 entering May.
Offensively, the three big additions have struggled, with Soler, Chapman and Jung Hoo Lee all boasting an OPS below .700.
Friday night's starter is projected to be Jordan Hicks, the flame-throwing reliever-turned-starter who touts a stingy 1.59 ERA.
