Hill takes the mound as Nationals aim for fourth straight win
Sep 4, 2007 - 1:22 PM Florida (60-78) at Washington (61-77) 7:05 pm EDTWASHINGTON (Ticker) - Shawn Hill takes the mound as the Washington Nationals aim for their fourth straight win in the second game of a three-game series with the Florida Marlins on Tuesday.
Jason Bergmann threw seven outstanding innings and Wily Mo Pena homered as the National climbed out of last place in the National League East with a 6-3 win in Monday's opener.
The Nationals are in fourth place in the East, one game ahead of the Marlins. Washington has beaten Florida five straight times.
Shawn Hill (3-3, 2.87) takes the mound for the Nationals. The righthander. Since returning after spending three months on the disabled list, the righthander has not received a decision in four starts.
Hill, who returned from a shoulder injury on August 14, allowed six runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings of a 10-9 loss to Los ngeles on Wednesday. Prior to that, he allowed two runs or less in nine of his last 10 starts.
One reason the Marlins are currently in the NL East cellar is the horrible season Dontrelle Willis (8-14, 5.12) is having.
The lefthander is just 1-11 in his last 17 starts, and suffered through a career-worst 13-start winless streak earlier in the season. On Wednesday, Willis allowed six runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings of a 7-4 loss to Atlanta.
