Hamels, Phillies aim to take series from Giants

May 4, 2008 - 2:15 PM San Francisco (13-17) at Philadelphia (17-13) 1:35 pm EDT

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- Two of the brightest young pitchers in baseball face off on Sunday as Cole Hamels and the Philadelphia Phillies look to take the rubber game of a three-game series from Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants.

Bengie Molina hit a go-ahead single in the 12th inning to lead the Giants to a 3-2 victory on Saturday.

Runs were at a premium on Saturday as Brett Myers and Matt Cain engaged in a pitchers' duel. Myers struck out a season-high 10 in seven innings and Cain fanned a season-high eight in seven-plus innings.

With Hamels and Lincecum on the mound, things don't figure to get any easier for each team's hitters.

The 24-year-old Hamels (3-3, 2.70 ERA) allowed two runs and five hits in 7 1/3 innings of a 7-4 victory over San Diego on Tuesday.

The lefthander has surrendered two runs or less in four of his six starts this season.

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old Lincecum (4-1, 1.73) is coming off his first loss of the season despite a stellar effort. Lincecum allowed three runs and eight hits in seven innings of a 3-2 loss to Colorado on Tuesday.

Prior to his matchup with the Rockies, Lincecum had tossed 16 1/3 scoreless frames over three outings.
