<h3>Phillies look to rebound vs. last-place Marlins</h3>

<div class="pre">Florida (60-80) at Philadelphia (73-66) 7:05 pm</div>

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) - A visit from the last-place FloridaMarlins should help the Philadelphia Phillies recover from acrushing loss.


The Phillies will try to get over a unthinkable loss when theyopen a three-game series with the Marlins on Friday.

On Wednesday, Philadelphia held an 8-2 lead over the AtlantaBraves heading into the eighth inning, but its horrendousbullpen reared its ugly head. Tom Gordon and closer Brett Myersproceeded to allowed seven runs over the last two frames as theBraves rallied for a 9-8 win.


The Phillies bullpen ERA of 4.63 is second-to-last in theNational League, and is the fourth-worst in baseball.

Fortunately for Philadelphia, the first-place New York Mets(78-61) fell 7-0 to Cincinnati, so they remained five games backin the National League East. The Phillies also benefited fromWednesday's setback by the wild card-leading San Diego Padres(76-63), staying three games behind.


The Phillies will look to take their frustrations out on theMarlins, who absorbed a three-game sweep at the hands of theWashington Nationals during the week.


Rookie J.D. Durbin (6-4, 6.27 ERA) has revenge on his mind as hetakes the mound against Florida. The righthander failed torecord an out in his last start, giving up seven runs and fivehits in a 12-6 loss to the Marlins on Saturday.


Byung-Hyun Kim (8-6, 5.54) opposed Durbin in that game, and hetakes the mound once again. Kim was not sharp and nearly gavethe 7-0 lead back. The righthander allowed four runs and 10hits in five innings.
