Orioles seek to extend four-game winning streak

Apr 17, 2007 - 2:12 PM Baltimore (7-6) at Tampa Bay (5-8) 7:10 pm EDT

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Ticker) -- The Baltimore Orioles are over .500 for the first time since last April 29, when they were 13-12.

The Orioles seek to extend their four-game winning streak when they face the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Tuesday.

Three of the wins came against Kansas City and the Orioles rallied from a six-run deficit to beat the Devil Rays, 9-7, in the opener of this series on Monday.

Since being swept by the Minnesota Twins in the season-opening series, Baltimore has won seven of its last 10 games.

Steve Trachsel (0-0, 2.57 ERA) will make his third start of the season. The veteran righthander, who signed a one-year contract in spring training to replace injured starter Kris Benson, has been effective in his first two starts, allowing four runs in 13 2/3 innings.

The Devil Rays counter with Casey Fossum (0-1, 7.59). The 29-year-old lefthander was effective last Thursday, yielding two runs in seven innings, but did not factor in the decision in a 3-2 loss at Minnesota.
