| (Best E Casino) - A pretty good pitching matchup is on tap this evening, as Dan Haren and the Arizona Diamondbacks open a three-game series against Jake Peavy and the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. These hurlers actually faced off last Wednesday, but it wasn't the pitcher's duel people were expecting. Haren served up four runs in the first inning and gave up five along with a season-high 11 hits in six innings, while Peavy was charged with the loss after surrendering six runs (5 earned) and five hits in five inn |

Jeff Kent went 3-for-5 with an RBI for LA, which has fallen in five of its last six games, keeping them three behind the Arizona Diamondbacks for the NL West lead. Los Angeles has also dropped five in a row and nine of its last 11 on the road. Hoping to get the Phillies back to the top of the division tonight will be right-hander Brett Myers, who has won three of his four decisions since |

Karstens followed up that effort with an even better one, as he tossed a two- hit shutout to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks on August 6. He hasn't won since, though, and fell to 2-2 when he was charged with the loss against the New York Mets on August 17. He allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings. |

| (Best E Casino) - The Florida Marlins have put themselves into contention in the National League East partly because of their success against the Arizona Diamondbacks this season. The surprising young club aims for another much- needed victory over Arizona when the two teams get together again tonight at Chase Field. The Marlins rallied for a pair of eighth-inning runs to come through with a 5-4 decision over the Diamondbacks in Friday's opener of this three-game series.

Hernandez, who won 10 times in 23 starts with the Twins, was an 11-game winner in the NL just last season, when he again went to the playoffs with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He will be opposed by stumbling former ace Aaron Harang, who won 16 games in both 2006 and 2007 for the Reds but has fallen to just three victories in 22 appearances - 21 starts - so far in 2008.
