Red-hot Phillies target two wins against Red Sox in DH

The Philadelphia Phillies will look to stay hot at home when they host the Boston Red Sox for a doubleheader on Tuesday.

The Phillies completed a four-game road trip against the New York Mets with a wild 9-8 win in 10 innings on Monday to split the series.

Philadelphia -- which will enter the doubleheader with a 20-17 record -- holds a 14-9 mark at home. The Phillies have turned their season around by winning 11 of their past 14 games, leaving them two games behind first-place Atlanta in the National League East.

The Phillies are expected to send Zach Eflin to the mound in the first game and Vince Velasquez in the second game.
