MONTREAL (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Phillies try to avoid their ninth loss in 12 games when they play the Montreal Expos in the second game of a weekend series.

In the series opener on Friday, Vladimir Guerrero's three-run double in the seventh inning snapped a tie as the Expos won for just the third time in 10 games, 4-1.

Montreal's Carl Pavano (3-5, 5.44 ERA) snapped a personal three-game losing streak in his last start, a 3-1 triumph at Los Angeles last Saturday in which he allowed one run and six hits in 7 1/3 innings.

Pavano is 2-5 with a 3.63 ERA in nine career starts against the Phillies.

Pavano will oppose David Coggin (0-1, 6.48), who will make his 10th major league appearance and fifth start. He fared well against Randy Johnson and Arizona on May 16, yielding one run and three hits in five innings, but did not earn a decision in the 4-2 loss.

Coggin is 1-0 with a 7.50 ERA in his one prior start against Montreal.

Phillies manager Larry Bowa will miss his second straight game. He is serving a three-game suspension for an altercation with an umpire last week. Bench coach Gary Varsho will fill in for Bowa.
