Final
Orioles seek to extend four-game winning streak
May 12, 2007 - 1:06 PM Baltimore (18-18) at Boston (23-11) 1:05 pm EDTBOSTON (Ticker) -- The Boston Red Sox are in first place, but the Baltimore Orioles are the hottest team in the American League East.
The Orioles will try to pick up their fifth straight win Saturday when they visit the Red Sox.
Baltimore has struggled against the Red Sox, compiling a 4-22 record since September 2005 against its intradivision rival. But the Orioles picked up a win on Friday, as Brian Burres and five relievers stranded 13 Red Sox runners en route to a 6-3 win.
Steve Traschel (1-3, 3.70 ERA) will try to keep the ball rolling for Baltimore. The veteran righthander has yielded three earned runs or less in all but one of his starts this season, but has claimed just one win.
Curt Schilling (4-1, 3.28) counters for the Red Sox. The 40-year-old ace has been sharp lately, going 2-0 in his last three starts with a 2.61 ERA.
Schilling earned a win April 25 against the Orioles, tossing seven innings while yielding one run and five hits.
Baltimore has not won five in a row since an eight-game run from April 22-May 1, 2005.
