Philadelphia (63-55) at Washington (54-65) 7:05 pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Phillies will try toextend their winning streak to three games when they visit theWashington Nationals on Wednesday.


Russell Branyan belted a two-run homer in the eighth inning tohelp the Phillies rally for a 3-2 victory in Tuesday's seriesopener. He was acquired from Cleveland last Thursday for cashconsiderations.


Philadelphia has won six of its last eight contests to pullwithin three games of the New York Mets (66-52) for first placein the National League East standings.


The Phillies on Wednesday hand the ball to rookie Kyle Kendrick(5-2, 3.75 ERA), who goes for his first road win since June 19.The 22-year-old righthander is 1-1 with a 2.14 ERA over his lastthree starts.


In his last start, Kendrick surrendered just two runs over seveninnings for a no-decision against the Florida Marlins onThursday.


Tim Redding (1-3, 2.86) counters for Washington, which had itsimpressive eight-game home winning streak snapped with Tuesday'sloss. The righthanded Redding gave up four runs in sevenframes of a 5-0 setback at San Francisco last week.

Redding is 1-1 with a 3.32 ERA over three lifetime startsagainst Philadelphia.
