Phillips, Reds hope to take rubber match vs. Giants

Apr 27, 2008 - 1:49 PM Cincinnati (10-15) at San Francisco (11-14) 4:05 pm EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- Brandon Phillips and the Cincinnati Reds will look for back-to-back wins for the first time in nearly three weeks when they face the San Francisco Giants on Sunday in the finale of a three-game set.

Phillips drove in three runs Saturday as the Reds held off a ninth-inning rally, snapping a three-game losing streak with a 10-9 victory over the Giants.

Looking for its first two-game winning surge since April 9-10, Cincinnati will send Edinson Volquez (3-0, 1.21 ERA) to the mound. Volquez is yet to allow more than one run in any of his four outings this season.

The 24-year-old righthander tossed seven stellar frames Tuesday, yielding a run and three hits with four walks and seven strikeouts during an 8-1 triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

He will be opposed by lefthander Barry Zito (0-5, 5.61), who is trying to avoid his sixth loss in as many starts this season.
