'Florida will turn to Andrew Miller (4-4, 5.53 ERA) as it tries to win its fourth road series of the season. Miller was awful in April, going 1-2 with a 9.12 ERA, but was much better in May, going 3-2 with a 2.43 ERA.
'He©ˆs still been inconsistent, however. The 23-year-old left-hander allowed four runs in 4 2-3 innings in a 5-3 loss on Tuesday at New York.
'Philadelphia will counter Miller with a pitcher who©ˆs nearly twice his age, but still plenty effective. Jamie Moyer (5-3, 4.45) has won his last three starts, limiting opponents to seven runs in 19 2-3 innings.
'He lasted seven innings on Monday, allowing four runs while striking out an unusually high seven batters in the Phillies©ˆ 20-5 win over Colorado.
'Moyer has received double-digit run support in four of his last five starts, and Philadelphia has provided 7.3 runs per start.
'"As quickly as you have it, you can lose it," Moyer said. "It©ˆs not about run support, it©ˆs about winning. My goal is to make it stand up."
'Moyer has dominated the Marlins, compiling a 7-0 record and 3.05 ERA against them in seven career starts.' (Hope Moyer can lose it today.) (Yahoo)
