<h3>Brewers, Phillies look to gain ground in division races</h3>

<div class="pre">Philadelphia (57-51) at Milwaukee (58-51) 8:05 pm EDT</div>

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) - Both the Philadelphia Phillies and theMilwaukee Brewers are in the midst of tight division races.Both teams will try to take a step forward when they meet atMiller Park on Friday.


The Brewers sit percentage points behind the Chicago Cubs(57-50) in the National League Central after surrendering an 81/2 game lead they held on June 23. The bullpen has been a bigpoint of concern for Milwaukee, carrying a 5.69 ERA and havingblown five saves since the All-Star break.


After watching reliever Carlos Villanueva surrender three runsin the seventh inning against the New York Mets on Thursday,Brewers manager Ned Yost and catcher Johnny Estrada engaged in aheated exchange in the dugout before being separated.

The Phillies are moving in the opposite direction, having won 10of their last 13 games to pull within four games of the Mets(61-47) in the NL East.


Philadelphia will hand the ball to rookie starter Kyle Kendrick(5-1, 4.01 ERA). The 22-year-old righthander picked up a winlast Sunday against the Pirates, yielding one run and six hitsin seven frames.


Milwaukee will counter with its own promising rookie, YovaniGallardo (3-1, 2.72). The 21-year-old righthander had a stringof four straight appearances allowing one run or less snapped onSunday when he surrendered four runs in 5 1/3 innings at St.Louis in a no decision.
