After two close wins, the Phillies will go for the sweep on Sunday in the series finale against the Los Angeles Angels.

Zack Wheeler gets the start for the Phillies, and will draw a lot of attention after a string of disappointing starts.

The Angels will start Yusei Kikuchi. The Japanese lefthander has endured a poor season, with a 6.25 ERA in eight starts.

Game time is 4:07 PM Eastern and will be televised locally by NBCSP.
