Rollins, Phillies eyeing fourth straight win
Jun 8, 2008 - 3:03 PM Philadelphia (38-26) at Atlanta (32-31), 1:30 pm EDTATLANTA (Ticker) -- Jimmy Rollins and the Philadelphia Phillies will go for their fourth consecutive victory when they meet the rival Atlanta Braves on Sunday in the finale of a three-game series.
The reigning National League MVP, Rollins blasted his first home run since May 9 during Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Braves. He is now batting .281 with four blasts and 20 RBI this season.
Atlanta will turn to Jorge Campillo (2-0, 1.79 ERA) in hopes of containing Rollis and the rest of the talented Philadelphia offense. The Mexican righthander is making just his sixth career start.
Campillo was tagged for four runs and six hits with a walk and three strikeouts over four frames in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Florida Marlins.
Phillies starter Adam Eaton (2-3, 4.63) is seeking his third consecutive win.
Eaton allowed just one run and three hits with no walks and five strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings during Tuesday's 3-2 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds.
