Moyer looks to pitch Phillies to sweep of Cubs

Apr 13, 2008 - 1:16 PM Chicago Cubs (6-5) at Philadelphia (6-6) 1:35 pm EDT

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) - Jamie Moyer takes the mound on Sunday as the Philadelphia Phillies seek to complete a three-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs.

Moyer (1-0, 4.66 ERA) will look to follow up a strong start by lefthander Cole Hamels, who allowed just one hits in seven innings of a 7-1 win on Saturday.

Pedro Feliz and Ryan Howard each homered as the Phillies won their second straight game without reigning National League MVP Jimmy Rollins, who likely won't start for a fifth straight game due to a sprained ankle. The 45-year-old Moyer bounced back from a shaky outing in his first start by allowing two runs and four hits in six innings of a 5-2 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Cubs are looking to get back on track, having lost two straight since a five-game winning streak.

Jason Marquis (0-0, 6.75) get the ball for the Cubs. The righthander allowed five runs - four earned - and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings in a 9-7 win over Houston on April 5.
