<div class="pre">San Diego (68-58) at Philadelphia (66-60) 7:05 pm EDT</div>

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) - The Philadelphia Phillies may not begaining ground in the division race, but the wild card is wellwithin their reach.


Jamie Moyer takes the hill as the Phillies try and gain groundin the wild card race when they open a three-game series withthe San Diego Padres on Friday.


Philadelphia lost for the fourth time in five games, 5-2 to LosAngeles on Thursday, as Tom Gordon and J.C. Romero combined toallow four runs in one-plus inning.


With the loss the Phillies (66-60) fell two games behind thePadres (68-58) in the wild card race, but remained five gamesbehind the New York Mets (72-53) in the National League East.That is because Adrian Gonzalez helped the Padres beat the Mets,9-8, on Thursday by blasting a solo homer in the 10th off AaronHeilman.


Moyer (11-9, 4.97 ERA), who is 3-0 with a 1.86 ERA in his lastthree starts here, will try and provide a little rest for abullpen that has allowed 17 runs and 32 hits in its last 17 2/3innings. The 44-year-old Moyer struggled in his last outing,allowing eight runs and nine hits in four-plus innings in a 11-6loss to Pittsburgh.


Greg Maddux (9-9, 3.90) takes the hill for San Diego looking forhis season-high third straight win. Maddux, who is 2-1 with a1.53 ERA in his last three starts, allowed one run and two hitsin six innings of a 5-3 win over Houston on Sunday to notchcareer win No. 342.
