The Yankees face the Phillies in their first home game since the All-Star break, following a loss to the Blue Jays. Philadelphia is close in the NL East race after winning against the Red Sox. Will Warren starts for the Yankees, struggling lately but showing promise at home, while Taijuan Walker takes the mound for the Phillies, transitioning back from relief and not fully stretched as a starter. The matchup highlights the playoff aspirations of both teams.
Will Warren has been a different pitcher at home than on the road, with a 3.00 ERA in the friendly confines of Yankee Stadium and a 7.20 mark everywhere else.
Taijuan Walker has been much more effective in relief than in the rotation, with opponents hitting .190 against him out of the bullpen but .271 as a starter.
