Phillies seeking sweep of Braves

May 27, 2007 - 1:51 PM Philadelphia (25-24) at Atlanta (28-21), 1:05 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Phillies will be after a three-game series sweep when they visit the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.

It took 49 games, but the Phillies are above the .500 mark for the first time this season and have won 11 of 16. The Braves are heading in the opposite direction having dropped nine of their last 13 games.

The Phillies, who began the year 3-10, have moved within three games of the Braves in the National League East and trail the first-place New York Mets by six-and-a-half.

Cole Hamels (6-2, 3.67 ERA) takes the mound for the Phillies who are after their first series sweep in Atlanta since taking a four-game series May 5-8, 1995.

Hamels is 1-1 with a 2.52 ERA in two starts against the Braves this year. The 23-year-old lefthander won a start here on May 1, allowing four runs in 7 1/3 innings during a 6-4 victory.

The Braves counter with Kyle Davies (2-2, 4.47) who is 0-3 with a 17.10 ERA in four appearances - three starts - against the Phillies.

Atlanta manager Bobby Cox is one win shy of 2,200 for his career. He is fourth on the all-time managerial victory list.
