<div class="pre">Arizona (29-23) at Philadelphia (26-24) 7:05 pm EDT</div>

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) - The Philadelphia Phillies are swinginghot bats. Freddy Garcia hopes that continues.

Garcia takes the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks in theopener of a three-game series on Monday.

Garcia (1-3, 4.81 ERA) is hoping to notch his first win in overa month. Garcia hopes the Phillies, who lead the National Leaguein runs scored, can build on Sunday's season-best 13 runoutburst.

In his last start, Garcia allowed three runs and five hits in sixinnings, but did not factor into the decision in a 8-7 win overFlorida on Wednesday. Garcia has not won since beating theCincinnati Reds on April 22.

Ryan Howard went 3-for-4 with two homers to help the Philliesfinish a three-game sweep in which they outscored the AtlantaBraves 27-13.

Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks are also riding high after afour-game sweep of the Houston Astros. Arizona's offense inclicking as well, having outscored Houston 35-12 in the fourgames.

Doug Davis (2-6, 3.57) takes the mound for Arizona, which haslost six its past eight meetings with Philadelphia. In his lasttime out, Davis was stellar but lost due to lack of run support.The righthander allowed just two runs and six hits in seveninnings in a 2-0 loss to Colorado on Wednesday.

Overall, he has received just three runs in his last five starts,going 0-4 during that stretch. To make matters worse, Davis haslost all five of his road starts this season.
