Game 41: Looking to even things up at home

The Phillies are 19-21 overall and just 9-10 at Citizens Bank Park. They look to get to .500 at home with this afternoon's second of a two-game series with the visiting Cleveland Indians. The Phillies enter action just 3.5 games out of first place in the N.L. East.

With Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Indians, the Phillies have won each of their last nine games in which they have scored four or more runs.

They enter the contest with a season-high three-game winning streak.

After getting a breather, Chase Utley returns to the Phillies lineup. Utley started 37 of the Phillies first 40 games.

What is interesting is that John Mayberry Jr., gets the start in center against Cleveland RHP Corey Klyuber (2-2, 5.64).

Mayberry went 3 for 4 with three RBIs in Tuesday's win.

Cole Hamels (1-5, 4.18) gets the start for the Phillies.

Here is the Phillies lineup

1. Jimmy Rollins, SS

2. Chase Utley, 2B

3. Michael Young, 3B

4. Ryan Howard, 1B

5. Delmon Young, RF

6. Domonic Brown, LF

7. Carlos Ruiz, C
