Gamethread 7/20: Phillies at Yankees

Kyle Ross-USA TODAY Sports Tonight, the Phillies get an extra hitter. Thanks to the game being played in the Bronx, the Phillies will have the ability to use a designated hitter instead of batting the pitcher at the bottom. This can help avoid unnecessary double switches and help add more offense to the lineup. It’s a win-win!

The DH still shouldn’t be in the National League.

The Phillies and Yankees go at it for a brief two game series in New York. Both teams still have starters out on the Covid list, New York being hit harder. The Phillies welcome back one of those players tonight in the form of their pitcher. Here are the lineups. For the Phillies:

Ready for battle in the Bronx.
