<h3>Phillies take on Nationals in opener of three-game set</h3>



<div class="pre">Philadelphia (62-55) at Washington (54-64) 7:05 pm EDT</div>

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Phillies will look tostart another series off on the right foot when they open athree-game set at the Washington Nationals on Tuesday.

The Phillies, who have won each of their last two series aftertaking the opening game, sit three games behind the New YorkMets in the National League East.


Kyle Lohse (7-12, 4.46 ERA) will take the mound after gettinghis first win in a Phillies uniform last time out. He wasacquired from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for pitcher MattMaloney at the trade deadline.


Lohse allowed four runs and six hits over 6 1/3 innings asPhiladelphia captured a 6-4 decision over the Florida Marlins onWednesday. The 28-year-old bounced back from an abbreviatedstart against the Chicago Cubs on August 2, when he was struckin the forearm by a line drive in opening frame.


The righthander has faced Washington once this season. As amember of the Reds, he surrendered seven runs and nine hits in 42/3 innings of a 12-7 loss on May 23.


Shawn Hill (3-3, 2.70) was suppose to make one more rehab startbefore rejoining the Nationals. However, the 26-year-old willmake his first start since May 11 when he left the game afterfive innings with elbow pain. Hill had not surrendered a hitand struck out five before suffering the injury. The Nationalswent on to win the game over the Marlins, 6-0.


Hill has faced the Phillies once this season, allowing two runsand four hits over eight innings. The righthander struck outthree and walked two as Washington won, 4-2, on April 26.
