Philadelphia Phillies (38-26) at Atlanta Braves (32-31), 1:30 p.m.

(Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Phillies try to complete a three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves this afternoon when the NL East rivals wrap up their series at Turner Field.

On Saturday, Pat Burrell finished 2-for-4 with a home run, and the Philadelphia bullpen threw 3 2/3 innings of scoreless relief to lead the Phillies to a 6-2 win.

Jimmy Rollins hit a two-run homer, Carlos Ruiz added a solo shot, and Chase Utley went 2-for-3 with an RBI triple for Philadelphia, which has won 11 of its last 13.

Kyle Kendrick struggled with his control and went just 5 1/3 frames while walking five, though he surrendered two runs on four hits. Ryan Madson, Tom Gordon and Brad Lidge each had a scoreless inning out of the bullpen, while J.C. Romero (4-1) picked up the win after getting the final two outs of the seventh.

Philadelphia, which also swept the Braves in Atlanta last May, improved to 38-26 and leads the National League East by 3 1/2 games over the Florida Marlins.

Chipper Jones, who on Thursday hit his 400th career homer, blasted a two-run shot for Atlanta, which has lost three of four overall.

Jo-Jo Reyes (2-4) took the loss after a mostly solid performance, as he gave up four runs on seven hits in 7 1/3 innings. Reyes also struck out eight for the Braves, who, at 32-31, trail the Phillies by 5 1/2 games.

Hoping to complete the sweep for the Phils today will be right-hander Adam Eaton, who has won his last two starts. Eaton was impressive against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday, as he surrendered a run and three hits in 6 2/3 innings to up his record to 2-3 on the season, while lowering his earned run average to 4.63.

Eaton has faced the Braves eight times and is 3-3 against them with a 6.14 ERA.

Atlanta will counter with righty Jorge Campillo, who is 2-0 with a 1.79 ERA. Campillo did not get a decision in his last start on Tuesday against Florida, which managed four runs and six hits in four innings off of him in a 5-4 Braves win.

Campillo will be making his first ever start against the Phils, but has faced them twice out of the bullpen, tossing 3 1/3 scoreless innings.

Philadelphia has won four of its five matchups with the Braves this season and six of its last seven dating back to last season.
