PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Phillies (14-10) will look to secure their second series sweep of the season as they oppose right-hander Danny Salazar and the Cleveland Indians (10-11) Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park.
The Phillies — who have won five straight games and eight of their last nine — are four games over .500 and finished with their best record in the month of April for the first time since their franchise-best 102-win season in 2011. Their last and only series sweep against Cleveland in six series all-time came on June 22-24, 2010.
Right-hander Vince Velasquez will take the mound for his fifth start in a Phillies uniform.
