Mitre takes mound as Marlins look for third straight win

Jul 7, 2007 - 2:23 PM Florida (40-46) at La Dodgers (48-38) 10:10 pm EDT

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - Sergio Mitre takes the mound for the Florida Marlins as they continue their three-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.

Mitre (2-4, 2.80 ERA) will need some help from his teammates if the Marlins are going to run their winning streak to three games.

The Marlins have scored three runs or less in 11 of the righthander's 14 starts, which is a big reason Mitre is 0-2 in his last seven outings.

Mitre hopes Hanley Ramirez can continue his hot streak and help secure his first win since May 20.

On Friday Ramirez hit two home runs and drove in the go-ahead run with a safety squeeze in the 10th inning to lead the Marlins to a 6-5 win.

Florida, which won for just the fourth time in its last 24 tries in Los Angeles, has won four of six overall.

As for the Dodgers, Derek Lowe takes the hill in hopes of preventing the team's first four-game skid since May 18-21. Lowe (8-7, 2.98) is winless in his last two outings despite allowing just one run each time. Last Saturday the sinkerballer yielded one run and eight hits in five innings in a 8-2 loss to Atlanta.
