(Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Phillies became instant favorites to defend their National League East title when they acquired Roy Halladay this past offseason. Bills C.J. Spiller Jersey . Its fitting, then, that the former Cy Young Award winner gets a chance to pitch his team to a fourth straight division title and become baseballs first 21-game winner this evening in the opener of a three-game series against the hosting Washington Nationals. Halladay spent his first 12 seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, racking up 148 wins and a Cy Young Award in 2003. However, he never pitched in the postseason, something that will change this year after the two-time defending NL champion Phillies clinched a playoff berth on Sunday. The Phillies could have won the NL East yesterday with a victory due to the second-place Atlanta Braves loss to the Nationals that lowered their magic number to one, but Philadelphia lost its second straight contest to the New York Mets following an 11-game winning streak. Despite the 7-3 defeat, Philadelphia claimed at least a wild-card berth when San Diego lost to Cincinnati yesterday, and could still claim the division tonight with a loss if the Braves lose to Florida. Winners of the 2008 World Series, the Phils seemed in good shape to win Sundays finale given that Cole Hamels was set to make the start riding a five-game winning streak. However, the lefty, who had pitched to a 0.49 earned run average over his win streak, gave up five runs over four-plus innings to suffer the loss. So now the club turns to Halladay in the opener of this season-ending six-game road trip. He picked up his fourth straight winning start with Tuesdays verdict over the Braves, becoming the first Phils pitcher to win 20 games since Steve Carlton in 1982 and the first righty to reach the mark since Robin Roberts in 1955. Its definitely special [to win 20 games], but its secondary to me with us trying to get into the playoffs, said Halladay after holding the Braves to three runs over seven innings. Finishing these last few weeks strong has been then priority. To be able to pitch in meaningful games at this point in the season makes all the difference. The Phillies would love to clinch the division tonight and give the 33-year- old Halladay some rest down the stretch. He is 20-10 with a 2.53 ERA over 32 starts, but his ERA over his last six starts is 4.32 and his 241 2/3 innings pitched is tied with Seattles Felix Hernandez for the most in baseball. Halladay is 7-1 with a 2.20 ERA lifetime versus the Nationals. He beat them on Aug. 20 with seven scoreless innings for his second win in as many starts versus the club this year, and has allowed only one run with 14 strikeouts over 14 innings during that span. Washington counters with one of its hotter pitchers in John Lannan, who is 6-2 with a 3.16 ERA over his last 10 starts and 8-7 with a 4.58 ERA in 24 starts overall. The left-hander got a no-decision versus the Astros on Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits over seven innings of work. Set to pitch on his 26th birthday, Lannan will be looking for his first-ever win over the Phillies. In 10 lifetime starts against the club, he is 0-7 with a 6.06 ERA, though he did hold Philadelphia to a pair of runs over five innings of a no-decision on Aug. 1. Washington begins the final leg of its 10-game homestand this evening and has won five of its last six games following Sundays 4-2 win over the Braves. Ian Desmond had a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh inning to lift his club. Former All-Star Ryan Zimmerman missed his fourth straight game due to a right rib strain, however, and the Washington third basemans return date is unknown. As long as there isnt any change, he wont play. It has to get a lot better for him to play, manager Jim Riggleman told the Nationals website. While Zimmerman could miss the rest of the season, the Phillies will be looking to get a former All-Star of their own into game shape. Jimmy Rollins pinch-hit in the eighth inning of last nights game, his first appearance since Sept. 8 due to a right hamstring strain. Rollins stayed in the game at shortstop and says he will play tonight. The 2007 NL MVP is hitting .244 in 83 games with seven homers and 37 RBI this year. The Phillies have won four straight over Washington and 10 of the 15 meetings overall this year. However, the two clubs have split six games so far at Nationals Park. Julian Edelman Jersey . Sanderson, who also had three assists in the game, beat Rush goalie Matt Disher with a long shot that bounced on its way in. Dane Dobbie also had a hat trick Craig Conn, Curtis Manning and Kaleb Toth scored two apiece and Rob Van Beek, Tracey Kelusky and Mike Carnegie added singles for the Roughnecks (9-6) who won their third in a row and will be guaranteed of second in the West if Edmonton loses in Washington on Saturday. Chicago White Sox Michael Jordan Jersey . Harrison, the NFL Defensive Player of the Year, says hell skip the Super Bowl champions visit to the White House to meet U. Premier BenJarvus Green-Ellis Jersey . As the United Nations new envoy to Haiti, former President of the United States Bill Clinton told reporters here on Monday he will be held accountable to the secretary-general and to the people of Haiti. [Xinhua] All I want to do is help the Haitians take control over their own destiny, Clinton said at a press conference with Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who appointed him to the position. David Ortiz Jersey . Charles goes on all-night work binges to meet deadlines, and Susan cant say no to volunteer projects, social clubs, bridge games, choral singing, lectures and classes. Premier Terrell Owens Jersey . Chinas Chen Jin, celebrates after beating Chinas Lin Dan, in the final of the All England Badminton Championships in the National Indoor Arena, Birmingham, England, Sunday, March 9, 2008. [Agencies] Chen, the world No.4, had never beaten world No.1 Lin in six previous meetings, but he completed the championship without dropping a game with a 22-20, 25-23 victory. Lions Jersey . Francisco, who was suffering from right biceps tendinitis, was put on the DL on May 16, retroactive to May 7. Prior to the injury, the closer was dominant, going 1-0 and converting all nine save opportunities without allowing a run in 14 2/3 innings. Cardinals Jersey . In one game where he bet on San Antonio, he ejected coach Gregg Popovich midway through the first quarter and the Spurs eventually lost the game. That drew the ire of the mob, which reportedly lost money using his tip.
