<h3>Phillies take on Penny, Dodgers in series opener</h3>

Philadelphia (46-45) at LA Dodgers (52-40) 10:10 pm EDT

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Fresh off reaching a dubious milestone,the Philadelphia Phillies visit the Los Angeles Dodgers onMonday in the opener of a three-game series.


The Phillies made baseball history in Sunday's 10-2 loss to theSt. Louis Cardinals, becoming the first franchise in baseballhistory to reach 10,000 losses overall.


Jamie Moyer (7-7, 4.43 ERA) takes the mound Monday as thePhillies look to put the historic loss behind them and get backto winning.


Moyer has just one win in his last three starts and has a 6.11ERA in that span. The 44-year-old lefthander allowed five runsand eight hits in 5 2/3 innings against Colorado on July 7.

The Dodgers will counter with Brad Penny (10-1, 2.39), who wasscheduled to start on Saturday but had to be pushed back becauseof a blister on his right index finger.


Penny struggled in his last start on July 5, allowing six runsand nine hits in a season-low four innings against Atlanta. Therighthander will look to rebound at home, where he is 4-0 witha 2.13 ERA in 10 starts.


Matt Kemp had three hits and an RBI triple as the Dodgers, whohave won four in a row, completed a three-game series sweep ofrival San Francisco with a 5-3 win on Sunday.
