PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies right-hander Jerad Eickhoff, having ended a long drought his last time out, attempts to win his second straight start when Philadelphia hosts the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.Eickhoff (7-12, 3.78 ERA) squares off against rookie left-hander Tyler Anderson (4-3, 3.04) in the second contest of a three-game series.Eickhoff beat the San Diego Padres on Sunday, going six innings and allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits while striking out five. He did not walk a batter.It was his first victory since he beat the Atlanta Braves on July 4. In the next five starts, he went 0-3 with a 5.08 ERA. That includes his only career start to date against Colorado, an 8-3 defeat July 9 in which he gave up eight runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.He gave up two home runs in his victory over San Diego. One was a two-run shot by Ryan Schimpf in the sixth inning, allowed the Padres to tie the game. Eickhoff has an 11.57 ERA in the sixth inning this season.If you look at the line, its tough to look at, Eickhoff told reporters afterward. But I just tried to keep us in the game the best I could. It was a great team win.Anderson has gone seven innings each of his last two starts, matching his career high. He was saddled with a no-decision in last out Monday versus Texas despite giving up one run on two hits while striking out five and walking three. The Rockies lost 4-3.The 26-year-old owns the lowest ERA for a Rockies starter through 11 games in club history. His road ERA (3.06) is likewise respectable, but he is 0-2 in three starts away from Coors Field. Colorado has scored one run in those three starts.Anderson beat the Phillies in his only previous start against them July 9. He went six innings in that 8-3 victory, allowing two runs on nine hits while striking out six. He didnt walk a batter.Philadelphia, averaging 6.1 runs per game in August, battered Jon Gray and four relievers in a 10-6 victory Friday night. Ryan Howard went 3-for-5 with five RBI, and his fifth-inning grand slam off Gray -- a 457-foot shot into the Colorado bullpen in center field -- snapped a 3-3 tie.It was the 14th career grand slam for Howard, who already held the club record in that category, and his 374th career homer. He is tied with Rocky Colavito for 76th on the all-time list.Howards big night coincided with the induction of the retired Jim Thome, once his mentor, into the clubs Wall of Honor.Its something pretty special, Howard said. I mean, you want to go out there and try to get the win on a special night like this. ... Being able to get something to hit and having it land on the other side of the fence is the bonus.

North Melbourne are a blank AFL canvas for Jack Ziebell to work with and the newly-installed skipper plans to create a masterpiece.The 25-year-old fulfilled his long-held ambition to succeed Andrew Swallow as Norths skipper this week - a job he has long been groomed for.He takes over at a tricky time for the Roos, who farewelled 1345 games of AFL experience when veterans Brent Harvey, Drew Petrie, Michael Firrito and Nick Dal Santo were sensationally moved on at the end of the season.The quartets departure has changed the age profile of the clubs list dramatically, which Ziebell believes offers him a rare opportunity.Obviously it was sad to see those old guys leave, but weve got 11 out of 44 guys this year who are brand new to the footy club, Ziebell told reporters on Friday.There are a lot of guys who are almost putty ready to be moulded, in a sense, so were looking forward to getting stuck in as leaders to help shape them into the players that we want them to be ... the custodians of this great footy club.Our playing list is a lot younger than it has been over previous years .dddddddddddd.. theres a lot of excitement around that.Our job as leaders is to set the expectations for our young guys and make sure the standards we set are being met.Ziebell denies theres a rebuild in progress at Arden Street despite the emphasis on youth and playing list regeneration.Theres talk of rebuilds but for us ... weve never gone down that track, he said.You try and tell the 44 guys out there that theyre rebuilding - its not a very positive thing to say.Weve never really dipped to the bottom of the ladder and were not looking to. Its important that we train well and do everything right.Robbie Tarrant, who won his first club best and fairest award this season, was named vice-captain with Jamie Macmillan and Shaun Higgins deputy vice-captains, and Swallow rounding out the five-man leadership group for 2017.
