Aaron Harang Looks To Snap Losing Streak, Phils Host Brewers

By Matt Leon

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Tonight it is game three of a four-game series between the Phillies and the Brewers at Citizens Bank Park.

Milwaukee has won the first two games of the set. Last night the Brewers scored twice in the eighth inning against Ken Giles and that allowed them to grab a 4-3 victory.

Aaron Harang gets the start on the mound tonight for the Phillies. The veteran right-hander is 4-10 this season with a 3.56 ERA. He hasn't tasted victory since May 14th when he pitched eight shutout innings in a 4-2 win over Pittsburgh. Harang has lost his last seven starts and since that last win he is 0-7 (8 starts) with a 5.29 ERA.

Milwaukee will counter with veteran right-hander, and former Phillie, Kyle Lohse. Lohse is 4-9 this season and his ERA is 6.28. Lohse spent part of the 2007 season with the Phils after being acquired in a mid-season trade. In 13 appearances, he went 3-0 with the Phillies with a 4.72 ERA.

Here is the lineup tonight against Lohse:

1. RF Ben Revere

2. 2B Cesar Hernandez

3. 3B Maikel Franco

4. 1B Ryan Howard

5. LF Cody Asche

6. C Carlos Ruiz

7. CF Odubel Herrera

8. SS Freddy Galvis

9. P Aaron Harang
