Orioles look to continue recent home success

Apr 23, 2007 - 1:11 PM Oakland (9-9) at Baltimore (11-7) 7:05 pm EDT

BALTIMORE (Ticker) - The Baltimore Orioles seek their seventh straight home win Monday when they face the Oakland Athletics in the opener of a two-game series.

Since a 3-6 start, the Orioles have won eight of their last nine games. They enter this contest with a four-game winning streak.

Baltimore also is 7-2 at home.

On Sunday, Miguel Tejada and Nick Markakis each knocked in three runs as the Orioles completed a three-game sweep of Toronto with a 7-3 victory.

Erik Bedard (3-1, 5.40 ERA) tries to win his fourth straight start for the Orioles. Bedard gave up four runs over 5 2/3 innings in a 6-4 victory over the Devil Rays on Wednesday. The lefthander is 0-1 with a 4.32 ERA in four career starts against the Athletics.

Oakland, which is trying to avoid its first three-game skid of the season, counters with Dan Haren (1-2, 1.44), who has received just nine runs in his first four starts. The Athletics are coming off 4-3 loss at Texas on Sunday despite a homer and two RBI from Shannon Stewart.

Haren earned his first win on Wednesday by limiting the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to four hits over seven innings in a 3-0 victory. The righthander is 1-2 with a 4.30 ERA in four career starts against the Orioles.
