The Philadelphia Phillies’ 2025 schedule heats up with pivotal NL East matchups against the Washington Nationals and New York Mets, setting the stage for potential fireworks. Fresh off a tense April sweep by the Mets that left them at 13-1, the Phillies are under pressure to stabilize their offense and bullpen during key divisional games.
Upcoming Highlights:
-
Nationals Series: The Phillies host Washington in late August (Aug 23-24), with rising star Dylan Crews likely to challenge Philadelphia’s struggling pitching staff.
-
Mets Rematches: Philadelphia travels to Citi Field for a three-game set against New York (Aug 25-27), seeking redemption after their April collapse
-
Playoff Implications: These games could define the Phillies’ season as they aim to close the gap in a competitive division
While the Nationals series lacks confirmed dates for Crews’ appearances, the 2023 No. 2 overall pick’s development adds intrigue to every matchup. The Phillies’ veterans, including Bryce Harper and Zack Wheeler, have emphasized their belief in the team’s potential, but consistency remains their biggest hurdle.
Key Question: Can Philadelphia’s high-priced roster finally deliver against rivals, or will Crews and the Mets’ surging lineup extend their struggles?
