The Mets took two of three from the red-hot Mariners over the weekend, including a 7-3 win on Sunday night during the Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. It was the first series the Mets had won since sweeping the San Francisco Giants from July 25-27.

Aaron Nola hit another wall in his return, but the Phillies were able to overcome it to split a four-game set in D.C., though now with the high uncertainy of Zack Wheeler's status looming.

Nola will start on Sunday for the first time since May 14. Manager Rob Thomson says the Phillies will use the six-man rotation "once for sure" to build in extra rest for their starters.

"Nola allowed one run in 3 2/3 innings in a 12-1, seven-inning victory, the 287th for manager Anthony Contreras," Ty Daubert wrote for Phillies Nation. "Contreras, who's led the IronPigs since 2022, now holds the franchise record for managerial wins."
