Utley, Phillies try to take series from Padres

May 1, 2008 - 12:56 PM San Diego (11-17) at Philadelphia (15-13) 7:05 pm EDT

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) - Chase Utley and the Philadelphia Phillies look to rebound and take the rubber game of a three-game series with the San Diego Padres on Thursday.

Utley hit his major league-leading 11th home run of the season, but that was all the Phillies could muster in a 4-2 loss on Wednesday.

A two-time All-Star, Utley is hitting .364 - third in the National League - and has carried the Phillies while shortstop Jimmy Rollins recovers from a sprained ankle.

Utley will look to continue his stellar start against former Phillie Randy Wolf. Wolf (2-1, 3.68 ERA) spent seven years with Philadelphia from 1999-2006 and was an All-Star in 2003.

The lefthander, who is making his first start against his former team, will try and bounce back after allowing five runs and seven hits in four innings of a 5-1 loss to Arizona on Friday.

Coincidentally, Wolf will be opposed by former Padre Adam Eaton (0-0, 5.08), who spent the first six seasons of his career in San Diego.
