    The Philadelphia Phillies (69-47) enter Saturday still holding the best record in MLB even after a loss on Friday to the Arizona Diamondbacks (64-53). The Phillies look to bounce back on Saturday and win their second game of this four-game weekend series.

    In doing so, the Phillies will turn to Aaron Nola (11-5, 3.54 ERA). In his last start, he allowed four earned runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out four in six innings. This will be Nola's first start against the Diamondbacks this season.

    Here is how the Phillies will line up on Saturday:

    1.) DH Kyle Schwarber
    2.) SS Trea Turner
    3.) 1B Bryce Harper
    4.) 3B Alec Bohm
    5.) LF Brandon Marsh
    6.) RF Nick Castellanos
    7.) 2B Bryson Stott
    8.) C Garrett Stubbs
    9.) CF Johan Rojas

    SP Aaron Nola

    The Diamondbacks will counter with Zac Gallen (9-5, 3.75 ERA), their ace. In his last start, he allowed five earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four in seven innings. This will be Gallen's first start against the Phillies this season.

    Gallen's repertoire includes a four-seam fastball, knuckle curve, changeup, slider, cutter, and sinker. Galled leans on his four-seam fastball heavily, throwing it 47 percent of the time. He will turn to his cutter the most in put-away situations, however, at 33.3 percent.

    Here is how the Diamondbacks will line up on Saturday:

    1.) RF Corbin Carroll
    2.) 2B Ketel Marte
    3.) DH Joc Pederson
    4.) 1B Josh Bell
    5.) LF Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
    6.) CF Jake McCarthy
    7.) 3B Eugenio Suarez
    8.) SS Geraldo Perdomo
    9.) C Jose Herrera

    SP Zac Gallen

    How to Watch

    The first pitch for Saturday's game is scheduled for 8:10 PM EST. The game will be broadcast on NBC Sports Philadelphia and Arizona Diamondbacks.

    Phillies fans can listen to the game on 94 WIP or WTTM 1680.
