  The Pirates have only faced Ishii twice, but they have hit him hard.   Ishii, however has been very good in his last two starts, allowing just one run in six innings of work last time out.  Jeff Suppan has been spectacular this year, but he too was hit hard by the Dodgers the last time he faced them, giving up 6 runs in 4 innings and earning a loss.  

Interesting facts-  

Todd Hundley is 1-3 with a homerun against Suppan, and Fred McGriff is 5-16, a .313 average.  Shawn Green, on the other hand is hitting .083 against him in 12 ABs.  

The ten Phillies who have faced Dreifort have hit a collective 3 homeruns against him, two by Tyler Houston.
