<h3>Moyer, Phillies hope gain ground in standings</h3>

Florida (52-60) at Philadelphia (58-53) 7:05 pm EDT

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Phillies turn toJamie Moyer in order to advance in the standings.


Moyer and the Phillies open a three-game series against theFlorida Marlins on Tuesday.


Philadelphia scored five runs in the ninth inning to rally foran 8-6 victory vs. the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday to remainwithin five games of the National League East-leading New YorkMets.


With the Mets and the second-place Atlanta Braves squaring offin a three-game set on Tuesday, the Phillies hand the ball toMoyer (9-8, 4.84) to try to make some headway in the division.

The lefthanded Moyer has had his way with the Marlins, going5-0 with a 2.45 ERA in five career starts, including 2-0 in twooutings in 2007.


However, the 21-year veteran - who is 4-1 vs. divisionalopponents - has struggled recently, going 2-3 with a 6.81 ERA inhis last six starts. In his last outing, Moyer gave up fourruns and nine hits in five innings of a 5-4 loss to the ChicagoCubs last Wednesday.


The Marlins counter with rookie Rick VandenHurk (3-2, 6.75), wholooks to add to Florida's two-game winning streak.

The righthander, who hasn't recorded a decision in his lastthree starts, allowed two runs and four hits in 4 1/3 innings ofa 4-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies last Thursday.


VandenHurk has never faced the Phillies.
