Haren faces former team as Athletics host Cardinals

Jun 15, 2007 - 3:28 PM St Louis (28-35) at Oakland (36-29) 10:05 pm EDT

OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- Perhaps the best pitcher in baseball at the moment, Dan Haren, starts against his former team when the Oakland Athletics host the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.

Haren (7-2, 1.58 ERA) was a reliever for the Cardinals during their World Series run in 2004. During that offseason, Haren became part of a three-player trade that allowed the Cardinals to acquire starter Mark Mulder.

The 6-5 righthander has been dominant this season and hasn't lost a game since April 7 - a span of 12 starts. In his last start on Saturday, he pitched seven scoreless innings against the San Francisco Giants during a 6-0 victory. Haren is 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in seven home starts this year.

The Cardinals counter with Braden Looper (6-5, 4.12), who has pitched poorly recently. In his last three starts, the righthander is 0-2 with a 7.63 ERA over 17 2/3 innings.

This is the first time that Tony La Russa, who managed the Athletics from 1986-1995, will face his former team, Oakland.
