Philadelphia is looking to complete the sweep following a 10-5 victory Tuesday. Philadelphia hit three home runs off Padres relievers to make a winner of Antonio Bastardo, who threw six solid innings in his major league debut.

Philadelphia has hit five home runs in this series while San Diego has hit three.

The +105 underdog Phillies will try to complete the sweep against San Diego's Chris Young, who has pitched well recently.

Young is 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA against the Phillies, who tagged him for seven runs and nine hits in 3 2-3 innings April 17. The Padres, though, bailed him out by rallying to win 8-7.

Philadelphia counters with J.A. Happ, who will make his third start since Chan Ho Park was demoted to the bullpen.
