The Philadelphia Phillies have been tough to beat at home over the last month. That's bad news for Florida ace Dontrelle Willis, who is looking to snap the longest losing streak of his career. He's 0-8 with a 5.01 ERA over his last 12 starts.

The Phillies will try to extend their season-high win mark at Citizens Bank Park to five games as they continue a three-game series with the Marlins Wednesday tonight.

Philadelphia is 9-2 in its last 11 home games, and has won four in a row there while outscoring opponents 34-8 and posting a 1.85 ERA.

Ryan Howard homered twice last night, and Aaron Rowand also went deep to help the Phils take the opener 11-1. They're now four games behind the first-place Mets in the NL East.
