Will Bryce Harper come up with more big postseason moments against the Dodgers in the NLDS?
The Phillies have their National League Division Series opponent, and their start times for Games 1 and 2 at Citizens Bank Park.
Game 1 on Saturday against the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers is set for 6:38 p.m. ET. Left-hander Cristopher Sánchez will take the mound for the Phils as their leading ace, while two-way megastar Shohei Ohtani will have the start for LA.
Game 2 is Monday night at 6:08 p.m. ET.
The times for Game 3, when the series shifts to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, and Game 4, should it be necessary, were announced Friday afternoon.
Game 5, should it also be necessary, is to be determined.
Here's how the series schedule looks:
• Saturday, Oct. 4 – Game 1 @PHI, 6:38 p.m. ET (Sánchez vs. Ohtani)
• Monday, Oct. 6 – Game 2 @PHI, 6:08 p.m. ET
• Wednesday, Oct. 8 – Game 3 @LAD, 9:08 p.m. ET
• Thursday, Oct. 9 – Game 4 @LAD, 6:08 p.m. ET*
• Saturday, Oct. 11 – Game 5 @PHI, TBD*
*If necessary
TBS will be broadcasting the best-of-five series.
"The Bank" will surely be rocking this weekend as the Phillies welcome the Dodgers, who swept the Reds in two games to take the NL Wild Card series.
Another Red October is about to begin.
