Philles seek fifth consecutive win
Apr 25, 2007 - 2:10 PM Washington (6-14) at Philadelphia (8-11) 7:05 pm EDTPHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- After a rocky start, the Philadelphia Phillies are beginning to heat up.
The Phillies will go for their fifth consecutive win when they host the Washington Nationals on Wednesday.
Jon Lieber, (0-0, 3.38 ERA) gets the start for the Phillies, who had just three wins in their first 13 games. The righthander started the year in the bullpen, but was effective in his first start of the season last Friday against Cincinnati. The 37-year-old Lieber allowed one hit in 5 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out five, but did not get a decision in a 2-1 defeat.
The Nationals look to end their three-game losing skid with John Patterson (0-3, 7.00), who has not pitched more than 5 1/3 innings in his four starts. Last Thursday, the righthander lost to the Phillies, allowing three runs and seven hits with four walks in four frames.
Washington is batting .240 and has just 10 home runs in 20 games and scored two runs or less in eight games. But the Nationals have yet to score in the first inning this season.
Philadelphia's Jimmy Rollins leads all major league shortstops with seven home runs and 54 total bases this season.
