PHILADELPHIA — Otto Kemp estimated that he’s played about 10 games in left field in his entire life. It’s safe to say that none of those were as big as the one he’ll start on Sunday night.
The rookie will head to the outfield for the first time in his short major-league career as the Phillies take on the New York Mets in a “Sunday Night Baseball” showcase on ESPN. Both teams are now tied for first place in the National League East after splitting the first two of this three-game series. One club will leave Philadelphia with the division lead.
