Phillies looking for fifth straight win
Sep 17, 2007 - 1:38 PM Philadelphia (80-69) at St Louis (70-78) 8:10 pm EDTST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Phillies may be turning their attention back to the National League East race.
The Phillies will hope to gain even more ground in the division race and win their fifth straight contest Monday when they visit the struggling St. Louis Cardinals for the opener of a three-game series.
After sweeping the New York Mets (83-65) in a three-game set over the weekend, Philadelphia has pulled to within 3 1/2 games in the NL East race. The Phillies remain 1 1/2 games behind the San Diego Padres (81-67) for the wild card.
Phillies rookie Kyle Kendrick (8-4, 4.02 ERA) will get the start. The 23-year-old righthander has struggled away from Citizens Bank Park, posting a 2-3 record with a 4.50 ERA opposed to going 6-1 at home this season.
The Cardinals will counter with Brad Thompson (6-5, 5.05), who has made just one start since July 28.
The defending World Series champions have lost 10 of their previous 11 contests and are virtually out of playoff contention.
