Orioles seek to extend three-game winning streak

Apr 16, 2007 - 12:49 PM Baltimore (6-6) at Tampa Bay (5-7) 7:10 pm EDT

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Ticker) -- The Baltimore Orioles seek their fourth consecutive win when they visit the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Monday.

Baltimore won three straight over Kansas City before Monday's contest was rained out.

The Orioles will start Adam Loewen (1-0, 1.80) on Monday night. The lefthander has been roughed up in his three career appearances against Tampa Bay, allowing 12 runs, 21 hits and six walks in 15 innings.

The Devil Rays counter with James Shields (1-0, 4.61), who picked up his first win of the year in his last start against the Texas Rangers, despite giving up three home runs. The righthander allowed five runs - four earned - and struck out eight.

Shields has allowed seven run over 12 innings in two career starts against the Orioles. He did not get a decision in either start.

The Devil Rays lead the majors with 19 home runs and have at least one in each game this season. Delmon Young is batting .347 (17-for-49) and has had a hit in each of Tampa Bay's 12 games, pacing a team that has 118 hits - second only to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Tampa Bay rookie Akinori Iwamura also has been hot with the bat, hitting .395 (15-for-38) with a team-best 11 runs. Ty Wigginton (15-for-48) and B.J. Upton (13-for-33) also are batting over .300.

The Orioles have hit grand slams in back-to-back games - Nick Markakis hit one Friday and Chris Gomez did the same Saturday.

The Orioles went 6-4 at Tampa Bay last season.
