05/10/2008 - (Baseball Betting) - Jimmy Rollins' return to the Philadelphia lineup sparked his team to victory. Today, Rollins and the Phillies will resume their road trip out west with the second installment of a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park.
Rollins, the 2007 NL MVP, had been on the disabled list since late April with a sprained left ankle suffered against the NL East-rival New York Mets. He finished 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, a run scored and three RBI to lead the Phillies to a 7-4 victory in Friday's series opener.
Pedro Feliz went 2-for-5 with an RBI and Carlos Ruiz knocked in two runs for the Phillies, who have won four of their last six games and sit one game behind the Florida Marlins for the top spot in the NL East.
Phils starter Cole Hamels gave up four runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and three walks over seven innings to pick up the win.
Getting the call for Philadelphia this afternoon will be Jamie Moyer, who is 2-2 with a 4.15 earned run average in seven starts this season.
Moyer was 0-2 in four trips to the mound before beating the Diamondbacks on Monday with seven solid innings of two-run ball. He allowed six hits in the 11-4 victory at Chase Field.
The veteran southpaw is 4-5 with a 2.73 earned run average in 10 career starts against San Francisco.
Giants starter Pat Misch gave up four runs on six hits with four strikeouts and three walks in six innings, but did not record a decision. Tyler Walker allowed three runs on two hits in one-third of an inning of relief to absorb the loss.
Emmanuel Burriss was 3-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI for the Giants, who have dropped five straight outings. Eugenio Velez and Fred Lewis each had an RBI, while Randy Winn finished 2-for-4 with a run scored in defeat.
San Francisco 0-1 on a 10-game homestand versus the Phillies, Houston Astros and Chicago White Sox.
Giants young hurler Tim Lincecum gets the nod for Saturday, and is 4-1 with a 1.49 ERA in seven games (six starts) this season.
Lincecum is 0-1 over his previous two starts, recording a no decision on May 4 in a 6-5 loss at Philadelphia. He was reached for four unearned runs and six hits in six innings of work.
In three career starts against Philadelphia, the right-hander is 0-0 with a 5.82 earned run average in three appearances -- all starts.
Philadelphia, which recently won two of three games against the Giants at home from May 2 - 4, is 17-7 in this series since the start of the 2005 season.
