The Philadelphia Phillies are playing against the Texas Rangers today at 4:05 p.m. ET at Citizens Bank Park. Aaron Nola will take the mound for the Phillies, while the Rangers will be without their ace, Jacob deGrom, who has been scratched due to neck stiffness.
This matchup marks a critical moment for both teams early in the season. The Phillies are coming off a victory against the Rangers, winning 5-3 in their previous encounter, where Cristopher Sanchez delivered an impressive performance, striking out 10 in six scoreless innings.
As of now, the Phillies hold a record of 1-0, while the Rangers sit at 0-1. Nola, who had a 6.01 ERA in 2025, will be looking to improve his performance against a Rangers lineup that has historically posed challenges for him.
The game will be broadcast on NBCSP+, with radio coverage available on 94WIP and WDEL 101.7 FM/1150 AM. Fans can also stream the game on nbcsportsphiladelphia.com and the NBCSP app.
With the Phillies aiming for a second consecutive win in their three-game series against the Rangers, the stakes are high. Observers expect Nola to step up in the absence of deGrom, who had a stellar 2.97 ERA last season.
As the game approaches, excitement builds among fans eager to see if the Phillies can continue their winning momentum. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any last-minute changes to the lineup or pitching strategy.
