PHILADELPHIA -- Facing familiar hitters, John Lannan was at his best. Lannan tossed four-hit ball over eight innings against his former team, Ben Revere had three hits and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 3-2 Monday night. Lannan (2-3) had four strikeouts in his longest outing in four years. The lefty registered 12 groundouts to beat the team he played for his first six seasons in the majors. "At this point, Im looking for consistency," he said. "It doesnt matter who Im facing. I have to put up zeroes. Thats what I have to do, keep the ball on the ground. Im not a strikeout guy." Jonathan Papelbon allowed two runs in a shaky ninth to earn his 19th save in 23 tries. Dan Haren (4-10) came off the disabled list and took the loss after missing two weeks because of right shoulder inflammation. Haren allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings, striking out a season-high seven. "I think the time off helped me to clear my head," said Haren, who is 0-7 with a 6.66 ERA in his last nine starts. Revere and Jimmy Rollins, the 1-2 hitters in Philadelphias lineup were 5 for 9 with three runs and one RBI. The Phillies opened an important four-game set against second-place Washington with their fifth win in seven games. They won consecutive series against first-place clubs, taking two of three from Pittsburgh and Atlanta. "We got to keep playing, stay with it, manager Charlie Manuel said. While Lannan downplayed beating his ex-teammates, Manuel figured his pitcher was fired up. "I think its kind of natural," Manuel said. "I know I would be. I might be jumping up and down." The Nationals had won four in a row. Bryce Harper, chosen earlier in the day to participate in the Home Run Derby next week, led off the ninth with his second hit. After Ryan Zimmerman hit a double, Jayson Werth hit a sacrifice fly. Adam LaRoches sac fly cut it to 3-2 before Papelbon retired pinch-hitter Chad Tracy to end it. Tracy hit a tying homer off Papelbon in the ninth inning on June 17, but the Phillies rallied to win that one. "We made a nice comeback against one of the best closers in the league," Nats shortstop Ian Desmond said. Making his first start since June 22, Haren struggled in the first. Revere and Rollins started Philadelphias first with consecutive singles followed by a double steal. After Chase Utley struck out, Domonic Brown drove in a run with a single off Harens leg. A bases-loaded walk to Darin Ruf forced in the second run. "We just have to continue to do the little things, especially with Ryan out of the lineup," Brown said. "We got guys with speed on base, making things happen." It stayed 2-0 until the sixth. Revere hit a two-out double and scored on Rollins line-drive single to right. Revere slid in safely ahead of Jayson Werths strong throw and nearly kicked Utley in the face doing a backward kick-stand getting up after the slide. Revere has raised his average to .300 from .200 on May 1. "I feel a lot more comfortable at the plate," Revere said. NOTES: Phillies 1B Ryan Howard will have surgery for a torn meniscus in his left knee and is expected to miss six to eight weeks. ... Phillies P Roy Halladay is making progress in his recovery from shoulder surgery. Halladay is throwing off flat ground from 75 feet. ... Lannan last went eight innings for Washington in a 3-2 loss at St. Louis on Aug. 28, 2009. ... Newly acquired outfielder Scott Hairston had travel delays leaving Chicago and arrived late to the ballpark. Hairston gives the Nationals a veteran right-handed hitter with power off the bench. "We just wanted a little bit more pop on the right side, a guy who can handle some left-handed pitching," Nats general manager Mike Rizzo said. ...

With so many games, injuries and endless rotation shifts throughout the marathon NBA season, we need to source stats from free agency in order to maximize our imaginary rosters.In this weekly series, we identify players available in more than half of ESPN leagues at each position. Some nominations are purely specialists capable of helping in one or two categories, while others deliver more diverse and important statistical offerings. Either way, we believe the names below -- ordered by descending ownership rates in ESPN leagues at each position -- can contribute positively to fantasy rosters.Point GuardTim Frazier, New Orleans Pelicans (Owned in 48.5 percent of ESPN leagues at press time): As the starting point guard in the Big Easy as?Jrue Holiday attends to a family health scenario, we find Frazier third in the NBA in passes and frontcourt touches per game and sixth in assists. Even upon Holidays eventual return, we expect Frazier to sustain around 25 minutes per game as the teams complementary distributor.Ty Lawson, Sacramento Kings (18.9): Another substitute starter to consider, Lawson is a fine rental until Darren Collison returns from an eight-game suspension. The Kings lead the league with five games this coming week, and Lawson rates eighth in the league in dimes per game, so this could be a strong stretch of passing production.Sergio Rodriguez, Philadelphia 76ers (10.7): With Jerryd Bayless expected to miss multiple weeks with a wrist ailment, this Spanish vet is averaging 30.5 minutes per game and ranks fifth in frontcourt touches per game as the teams ball-dominant distributor.J.J. Barea, Dallas Mavericks (7.2): Afforded 34 minutes per game as the lead distributor of Dallas second unit and also as a key complementary shooter -- hes lofted 27 shots and 10 3-pointers through two games -- Barea is a fine utility option in deeper leagues.Shooting GuardWill Barton, Denver Nuggets (42.0): Its essentially déjà vu as Barton was widely available early last season as the teams top backcourt scoring option. With 38 minutes and 12.5 shots per game to go along with the leagues most amazing headshot on his player profile, Barton is again a top fantasy free agent.Justise Winslow, Miami Heat (39.5): While shooting just 37.9 percent from the field is a bit troubling, its also nice to see Winslow lofting 14.5 shots along with 33 minutes per game for the Heat. With real upside as a defensive asset and quality rebounding resource at a thin shooting guard position, Winslow is a strong early addition to target.Sean Kilpatrick, Brooklyn Nets (1.3): With at least 13 points in each game thanks to lofting 12 3-point attempts and 33 field goal attempts overall in the first three outings, its clear Kilpatrick could provide Barton-like support in the scoring department for managers in deeper leagues.Small ForwardT.J. Warren, Phoenix Suns (21.7): We love minutes first and foremost when sifting for free agents, as increased exposure is the key to earning consistent opportunities.dddddddddddd. Warren is sixth in the NBA so far in minutes, averaging a robust 38.5 after having led the Suns in minutes in the preseason. A gifted natural scorer with a steady midrange game, Warren is a must-add early this season.Wilson Chandler, Denver Nuggets (7.7): Whenever we find a player averaging 30 minutes and double-digit field goal attempts, we should take notice. Chandler is doing just that, while he also has a strong history in steals, blocks and 3-point production.James Ennis, Memphis Grizzlies (4.0): A 3-and-D asset earning steady minutes (27.5 per game) for a Memphis team seeking to pick up the pace this season, Ennis could prove reminiscent of the valuable production James Posey once provided for the Grizzlies.Andre Roberson, Oklahoma City Thunder (3.2): Best used as an option in deeper leagues (as in at least 12 teams), we like that Roberson is averaging 9 boards, 36 minutes and an elite 3.5 steals per game.Power ForwardMarcus Morris, Detroit Pistons (37.9): Just like Phoenixs Warren, Morris a player driven by a strong exposure rate: He was 12th in the league last year with 35.7 minutes per game and is now seeing 30.5 per night for the Pistons. With Reggie Jacksons high-usage game sidelined, Morris has averaged 15.5 shots so far, helping buoy a high floor for this widely available stretch big.Taj Gibson, Chicago Bulls (21.9): While hes yet to record a swat this season, Gibson has averaged at 1.3 blocks over his career and has never dipped below 1.1 per game in a season. In a new-look frontcourt affording him steady minutes, Gibson can help with boards and blocks.JaMychal Green, Memphis Grizzlies (13.2): Like Ennis, Green is seeing steady minutes as a complementary forward for Memphis. With a strong rebounding rate and freedom to shoot from beyond the arc, Green merits increased attention as a fantasy commodity.Trevor Booker, Brooklyn Nets (8.3): Brooklyns thin roster means a steady vet like Booker could earn meaningful minutes throughout the season. The sixth-year Clemson product has enjoyed his role as the teams garbage man so far, cleaning up the boards to the tune of 10.7 rebounds per game to go with helpful steals and shooting percentages.CenterClint Capela, Houston Rockets (38.8): Well eventually see some awesome block production emerge from Capela given the increased exposure and usage were seeing for the third-year pivot. As the rim protector on a team likely to challenge for the league lead in pace, Capela could enjoy really nice numbers at a scarce center position.Tyson Chandler, Phoenix Suns (11.4): As long as hes healthy and averaging 30 minutes -- which he is at the moment -- Chandler offers elite shooting from the field and strong rebounding rates.Justin Hamilton, Brooklyn Nets (6.0): A stretch center averaging 28 minutes, six shots from 3-point range along with a block and a steal per game, Hamilton is another asset on Brooklyn enjoying a quietly strong start to the season.
