Trachsel seeks consecutive wins against Blue Jays

May 23, 2007 - 1:47 PM Toronto (20-24) at Baltimore (20-25) 7:05 pm EDT

BALTIMORE (Ticker) -- Though he's been one of the team's better starters, Steve Trachsel seeks back-to-back wins for the first time this season when the Baltimore Orioles host the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday.

Trachsel (2-3, 3.86 ERA) allowed two runs and four hits over 5 2/3 innings in a 5-4 win over the Washington Nationals last Friday. The righthander has allowed two runs or less in five of his nine starts this season, including his last one against the Blue Jays on April 22 when he allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings.

Toronto starter Dustin McGowan (0-1, 8.22) will be making his fourth start of the season. The 25-year-old righthander has had his problems thus far, allowing 14 earned runs and 10 walks in 15 1/3 innings.

Toronto posted a 6-4 victory to earn its first win in four games at Baltimore this season. It was just the second victory for the Blue Jays in their last 10 road games.

Jeremy Accardo pitched the ninth for his fourth save of the season and has not allowed an earned run in 20 innings this season.

Vernon Wells had an RBI single in the win and, in 103 career games against the Orioles, is batting .294 (119-for-405) with 23 home runs and 72 RBI.

Mired in an 0-for-17 slump, Corey Patterson was held out of the Orioles' lineup for the second straight game on Tuesday.
