Twins, D-Rays try to match Friday's excitement
Apr 14, 2007 - 2:48 PM Tampa Bay (4-6) at Minnesota (6-4) 7:10 pm EDTMINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Edwin Jackson and Sidney Ponson have a lot to live up to after Friday night's pitcher's duel.
Jackson and Ponson face off Saturday as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays visit the Minnesota Twins in the third game of a four-game series at the Metrodome.
The Twins entered Friday's game having won the last 24 starts at home by reigning Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana, a modern day major league record, and the lefthander was 17-0 over that span.
However, Devil Rays' lefthander Scott Kazmir outdueled Santana on Friday, allowing two runs and six hits in eight innings while striking out six. It was his first victory since July 3, 2006, a span of nine starts. The 23-year old also helped the Devil Rays snap an 11-game losing streak at the Metrodome.
Santana allowed four runs, six hits and a walk in seven innings and struck out 10 for his first loss in his last five starts vs. Tampa Bay.
Jackson (0-1, 6.35 ERA) struggled in his first start of the season last Monday, allowing four runs in 5 2/3 innings against Toronto.
Minnesota counters with veteran Sidney Ponson (0-1, 12.71). The righthander was hit hard in his Twins' debut, surrendering eight runs in 5 2/3 innings against the New York Yankees.
Ponson may be running out of chances to prove he still belongs in the major leagues. The burly righthander has not had an ERA below 5.30 since 2003.
