After struggling with freak injuries to start 2009, Hamels recorded his first victory for Philadelphia since Game 1 of the World Series, allowing two runs and three hits over six innings on Friday in a 10-6 win against Atlanta.

The lefthander made four total starts against Los Angeles in 2008, going 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA.

Chad Billingsley will be looking to bounce back from his first loss of the season.

Los Angeles averaged 6.6 runs in Billingsley's first six starts, but scored far fewer on Friday against San Francisco in a 3-1 loss.

Billingsley is 1-3 with a 7.04 ERA in five starts against the Phillies. Philadelphia (-127 favorites) comes in having lost five of seven games.
