Furcal looks to spark Dodgers past Nationals

Aug 27, 2007 - 1:37 PM Washington (58-73) at La Dodgers (67-63) 10:10 pm EDT

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Rafael Furcal will hope his hot bat can propel the Los Angeles Dodgers to a much-needed victory when they host the Washington Nationals in the opener of a three-game series Monday.

Furcal is on a seven-game hitting streak, going 12-for-28 (.429) with nine runs scored over that stretch.

Los Angeles is tied for third place in the National League West, 6 1/2 games behind the division-leading Arizona Diamondbacks (74-57).

Derek Lowe (10-11, 3.47) will take the mound for the Dodgers, who have won three of their last five contests. The 34-year-old righthander has won his last two starts and is looking for his first three-game winning streak of the season.

The Nationals will counter with Mike Bacsik (5-7, 4.61), who has not won since giving up Barry Bonds' historic 756th home run. Backsik gave up three runs and seven hits over six innings in a 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros on Wednesday.

Washington is looking to snap a three-game losing skid.
