Aug 24, 2017 - 8:03 AM RHP Vance Worley (2-3, 4.82 ERA) takes the mound on Thursday to close out the series against Philadelphia, the team who drafted him in 2005 and where he spent his first three years in the majors (2010-12). In four career appearances (two starts) against his former team, Worley is 1-1 with a 4.85 ERA. The two relief appearances vs. Philadelphia came earlier this season, when he threw a scoreless ninth inning of a 7-2 win in May and then gave up three runs in three innings of a 10-3 loss in July. This will be Worley's 29th career start at Citizens Bank Park and 32nd appearance overall in a park where he is 10-8 with a 3.71 ERA. He has only appeared there twice as a visitor, both with the Pittsburgh Pirates, going 1-1 with a 4.00 ERA between 2014-15.
