Phillies, Giants duel in rubber game on Sunday

May 11, 2008 - 2:55 PM Philadelphia (21-17) at San Francisco (15-22) 4:05 pm EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- The San Francisco Giants host the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday in the rubber contest of a three-game set at AT&T Park.

On Saturday, 41-year-old shortstop Omar Vizquel was activated from the disabled list after being sidelined since undergoing left knee surgery on February 27. He sparked the Giants to an 8-2 win in his season debut by going 3-for-5.

The night before, Philadelphia shortstop Jimmy Rollins returned to the lineup and keyed the Phillies' 7-4 victory. Rollins, the reigning National League MVP who had been sidelined for 19 games with a sprained left ankle, fell a triple shy of the cycle. He was held hitless on Saturday.

Adam Eaton (0-1, 5.63 ERA) gets the start for Philadelphia on Sunday. The righthander is coming off his worst outing of the season, surrendering six runs and five hits over four frames in a 6-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

The Phillies will face Jonathan Sanchez (2-2, 4.74), who allowed two home runs in his last start. Philadelphia leads the major leagues with 54 homers.

Sanchez also is coming off a poor start as he surrendered a season-high seven runs and six hits over 4 1/3 innings in a 12-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday.
