Phillies' Rollins picking up where he left off

May 10, 2008 - 1:27 PM Philadelphia (21-16) at San Francisco (14-22) 4:05 pm EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) - Jimmy Rollins is picking up right where he left off.

Rollins and the Philadelphia Phillies go for back-to-back wins on Saturday when they continue a three-game series with the San Francisco Giants.

The reigning National League MVP, Rollins returned to the lineup on Friday after missing 19 games due to a sprained left ankle.

The 29-year-old shortstop logged three hits and three RBI, including a two-run home run, leading the Phillies to a 7-4 victory in the series opener.

Rollins looks to continue his success against Saturday's starter Tim Lincecum (4-1, 1.49 ERA), who struggled against the Phillies in his last start.

The 23-year-old righthander allowed four unearned runs and six hits in six innings, walking two while striking out five but did not factor in the decision during Sunday's 6-5 loss to Philadelphia.

Philadelphia counters with lefthander Jamie Moyer (2-2, 4.15 ERA), who surrendered two runs and six hits while striking out five in seven innings, earning the win during Monday's 11-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
