<h3>Johnson faces Moyer again in battle of aging lefties</h3>

Arizona (31-23) at Philadelphia (26-26) 7:05 pm EDT

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- When Randy Johnson takes the mound thesedays, rare is it that he can be opposed by someone with moreexperience. For the second time this month, however, he will bedoing just that.

Johnson and the Arizona Diamondbacks will go for the three-gameseries sweep on Wednesday as they meet the Philadelphia Philliesand fellow veteran lefthander Jamie Moyer.

With 41 combined years of pitching excellence between them,Johnson and Moyer are still looking good after all these years.The pair met up on May 9 in a game that marked a league recordfor the oldest matchup of lefthanders, a Phillies' 9-3 triumph.

Johnson (2-2, 4.54 ERA) has made two starts since then - bothwins - but missed his last scheduled outing with forearmtendinitis. He has struck out at least nine hitters in each ofhis last three outings, starting with his first meeting againstMoyer, a former teammate in Seattle.

The 10-time All-Star has made 17 lifetime starts against thePhillies, going 8-3 with a 2.57 ERA. He struck out aseason-high 10 batters over 5 2/3 innings in his last start onMay 20 against Pittsburgh, allowing two hits and seven runs in a5-2 victory.

Moyer (5-3, 4.18) has alternated wins and losses over his lastfive decisions for Philadelphia, which is looking to snap atwo-game slide and avoid getting swept for the first time sincetheir season-opening series against Atlanta.

The 44-year-old yielded three runs - two earned - and five hitsover seven innings in the Phillies' 8-3 win over the Braves onFriday. The lefthander is 1-0 with a 3.21 ERA in two careermeetings against Arizona.
