The Phillies have the second best record in the National League that will start the matches of Sunday and are in the Playoff race in the early season on 27-18.

The team now has a striking gap in its relief pitchers, which will probably be provided by an exchange, because the team hopes to win a World Series for the first time since 2008.

Philadelphia has made the late season in the last three years, including a pennant profit from National League in 2022 before losing the Houston Astros in six in the championship quay.

Towards the game on Sunday, the Alvarado vault had already been cleaned up.

Since 2021, the 29-year-old has been spent at the Phillies after breaking in the large competitions and four seasons with the Tampa Bay rays.
