Philadelphia (21-17) at San Francisco (15-22) 4:05 pm EDT
SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- The San Francisco Giants host the
Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday in the rubber contest of a
three-game set at AT&T Park.
On Saturday, 41-year-old shortstop Omar Vizquel was activated
from the disabled list after being sidelined since undergoing
left knee surgery on February 27. He sparked the Giants to an
8-2 win in his season debut by going 3-for-5.
The night before, Philadelphia shortstop Jimmy Rollins returned
to the lineup and keyed the Phillies' 7-4 victory. Rollins, the
reigning National League MVP who had been sidelined for 19
games with a sprained left ankle, fell a triple shy of the
cycle. He was held hitless on Saturday.
Adam Eaton (0-1, 5.63 ERA) gets the start for Philadelphia on
Sunday. The righthander is coming off his worst outing of the
season, surrendering six runs and five hits over four frames in
a 6-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
The Phillies will face Jonathan Sanchez (2-2, 4.74), who allowed
two home runs in his last start. Philadelphia leads the major
leagues with 54 homers.
Sanchez also is coming off a poor start as he surrendered a
season-high seven runs and six hits over 4 1/3 innings in a 12-6
loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday.
