<div class="pre">Florida (52-61) at Philadelphia (59-53) 7:05 pm EDT</div>

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Phillies will look forthe recently-acquired Kyle Lohse to last much longer in hislatest start.


The Phillies will turn to Lohse as they aim for a fifth straightwin at Citizens Bank Park in the middle game of a three-gameseries with the Florida Marlins on Wednesday.


Philadelphia crushed Florida, 11-1, on Tuesday behind the bat ofRyan Howard and the pitching arm of veteran Jamie Moyer.Howard, the reigning National League MVP, belted two home runsand the 44-year-old Moyer tossed six strong innings to improveto 6-0 in six career starts vs. the Marlins.


Philadelphia, which has won four straight here, is also 9-2 inits last 11 at home.


The Phillies next hand the ball to Lohse (6-12, 4.61 ERA), whowas acquired from the Cincinnati Reds at the trade deadline.

The righthander had an abbreviated debut with Philadelphia onThursday after getting hit by a line drive on his right forearmin the first inning against the Chicago Cubs. That was not theonly trouble for Lohse, who allowed a run, two hits as well ashitting two batters in that opening frame. However, his newteammates rallied for a 10-6 victory.


Lohse, making his first start at home for Philadelphia, is 1-1in two career starts vs. Florida.


The Marlins counter with Dontrelle Willis (7-11, 4.91), who islooking to snap the longest losing streak of his career. Thelefthander is 0-8 with a 5.01 ERA over his last 12 starts. Ithas not helped that his teammates have been held to three runsor less in all but one of those outings.


The Marlins ace has handled the Phillies recently, going 3-0 inhis last five starts vs. them. Overall, Willis is 8-5 with a3.80 ERA in 19 career outings vs. Philadelphia - his mostoutings against one franchise.


The Marlins have lost eight of nine on the road.
