Orioles seek sixth win in seven games
Apr 20, 2007 - 1:34 PM Toronto (8-7) at Baltimore (8-7) 7:05 pm EDTBALTIMORE (Ticker) -- After a poor start to the season, theBaltimore Orioles have taken advantage of some lesser opponents.The Orioles look to continue their stellar play when they open athree-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.Since getting swept by Minnesota in a season-opening three-gameseries, Baltimore has won eight of its last 12 games, includingfive of six. The Orioles swept Kansas City and took two ofthree from Tampa Bay - both last-place clubs.On Wednesday, Erik Bedard won his third straight start as theOrioles posted a 6-4 victory over the Devil Rays. Bedard didjust enough to get the win, allowing four runs, seven hits andthree walks while striking out eight in 5 2/3 innings.Orioles starter Daniel Cabrera (1-1, 3.66 ERA) looks to keep itgoing on Friday. In his last start, Cabrera allowed four runs -three earned - and seven hits in five innings but did notfigure in the decision in a 6-4 win over Kansas City lastSaturday.Cabrera will be opposed by Blue Jays righthander A.J. Burnett(1-1, 7.07), who yielded four runs and seven hits in 5 1/3frames in a 10-7 loss to Detroit last Saturday. Burnett is 1-0 lifetime against the Orioles.Toronto enters this series after losing two of three games toBoston.The Blue Jays went 11-8 against the Orioles last season.- AL
