The suddenly surging Phillies aim for a four-game sweep of the visiting Atlanta Braves on Sunday night.
The Phillies will turn to left-hander Jesus Luzardo (12-6, 4.23 ERA), who is coming off a disappointing start against the Mets on Tuesday.
Luzardo has made nine career starts against Atlanta, posting a 3-4 record with a 3.86 ERA. The Phillies have lost both of his starts against the Braves this season even though he has allowed only three runs in 11 innings.
Atlanta gives the nod to impressive rookie right-hander Hurston Waldrep (4-0, 0.90), who has given up no more than one run in any of his five major league starts.
The Braves have won all five of those outings, including an 11-2 triumph over Miami on Tuesday in which Waldrep allowed just one run in 5 1/3 innings despite giving up 10 baserunners and not striking out any of the 24 batters he faced.
"It's good being able to come to the office every day and work and see everything pay off," Waldrep said. "But you can't sit here and reflect for too long."
