<h3>RHP Eaton takes the mound as Phillies look to break .500</h3>

<div class="pre">Philadelphia (24-24) at Atlanta (28-20) 3:55 pm EDT</div>

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Adam Eaton will try and help the PhiladelphiaPhillies get over the .500 mark for the first time this season.

Eaton takes the mound on in the second game of a three-gameseries with the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.

Philadelphia, which started the season just 4-11, has flirtedwith breaking the .500 mark, alternating wins and loses in thelast eight games.

The Phillies got back to .500 by beating Atlanta 8-3 behindseven strong innings from Jamie Moyer and a two-run double fromRyan Howard, who played for the first time since May 9. Howardhad been on the disabled list with a left quadriceps strain.

While Howard is healthy, Philadelphia will have to do withoutcloser Brett Myers for a while. He was placed on disabled liston Friday with right shoulder strain.

Meanwhile, Eaton (4-3, 5.70 ERA) is coming off his best start ofthe season as he allowed just four hits in six shutout inningsin a 5-3 win over Toronto on Sunday.

The Braves, who have lost eight out of 12, will send ajourneyman to the mound in place of the released Mark Redman.Buddy Carlyle (NR) makes his first start of the season afterbeing called up from Class AAA Richmond.

Carlyle, 30, has logged nearly 1,000 minor-league innings andhas not started since 1999 when he was called up by the SanDiego Padres and started seven games. He was 5-2 with a 2.59 ERAin Richmond this season.
