The long-time rivals will meet in a postseason series for the first time.
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Alec Bohm tags out New York Mets' Tyrone Taylor during the third inning of a baseball game Tuesday, May 14, 2024, in New York.

The first two games will be in Philadelphia Saturday and Sunday before the series moves to Citi Field for Games 3 and 4, the last of necessary, on Tuesday and Wednesday. If there is a need for a winner-take-all Game 5 it will be at Citizans Bank Park next Friday. They’ve played five games since the Phillies played their last one.

Whoever doesn’t start Game 2 will start Game 3 with Ranger Suarez - who struggled down the stretch - in line for Game 4.
