The Philadelphia Phillies (57-43) host the Boston Red Sox (54-48) on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. First pitch from Citizens Bank Park is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. ET; the game will be broadcast on TBS.
The Red Sox will look to respond after dropping Monday's series opener, thanks to the first walk-off catcher's interference since 1971. With Monday's win, the Phillies moved back to top of the NL East and are heavily favored to win the second matchup of the series, with Cristopher Sanchez (2.50 ERA, 115 IP) set to take on Richard Fitts (4.28 ERA, 33 2/3 IP).
