In his first game against his former team, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay handled the Toronto Blue Jays with ease. While Toronto won’t have to worry about facing its longtime ace again anytime soon, Philadelphia’s surging offense has been even tougher to overcome lately. The Phillies look to continue their hot streak at the plate as they go for their season high-tying fifth straight win Saturday against the struggling Blue Jays. Halladay had no problems against his former club Friday night, limiting Toronto to six hits over seven innings to avoid the first four-start losing streak of his career. The 2003 Cy Young Award winner got plenty of support from his offense as the Phillies cruised to a 9-0 victory. Philadelphia has been better at providing its pitchers with that kind of support lately. After averaging 2.4 runs and batting .218 while dropping 15 of 21 from May 22-June 15, the Phillies have averaged 7.0 runs and batted .283 while winning seven of nine. They’ve totaled 28 runs over their last three games, helping them put together their first five-game winning streak since April 9-14.

Toronto will try to bounce back against Philadelphia starter Cole Hamels, who hasn’t given up more than three earned runs in any of his last nine games, going 4-3 with a 2.91 ERA. The left-hander gave up four runs - three earned - and five hits in seven innings in Philadelphia’s 13-10, 11-inning loss to Minnesota last Saturday. Hamels is 0-1 with a 5.06 ERA in two career starts against the Blue Jays. Toronto, though, has struggled against lefties this season, batting .201 - the worst average in the majors by 26 points. Toronto’s Adam Lind, hitting .115 against lefties this season, is 3 for 6 with a homer against Hamels. The Blue Jays will hand the ball to Shaun Marcum. The right-hander held San Francisco to two runs - one earned - and four hits while striking out eight in five innings Sunday. He didn’t get a decision in Toronto’s 9-6 defeat.
