Orioles hope to get Bedard on track

Jun 21, 2007 - 12:47 PM Baltimore (30-41) at San Diego (41-29) 3:35 pm EDT

SAN DIEGO (Ticker) - The Baltimore Orioles' luck changed on Wednesday, but will that fortune carry over to Erik Bedard's start on Thursday?

The Orioles' win here on Wednesday snapped a season-high nine-game losing skid and gave interim manager Dave Trembley his first win of the season. The Orioles fired Sam Perlozzo as manger on Monday.

Considered Baltimore's staff ace, Bedard (4-4, 3.64) can't seem top catch a break this season. The lefthander has allowed three runs or less in each of his last nine starts but has only one win to show for it.

Bedard has lasted seven or more innings in six of those nine starts, but continues to be the victim of the punchless Baltimore lineup which has average just 2 1/2 runs per game in those games. Overall, he has one win in his last 11 outings.

David Wells (3-4, 4.86) takes the mound for the Padres, who are 21-13 at home this season. Wells has pitched effectively at PETCO Park this season, posting a 1-0 record and 2.95 ERA in six starts spanning 39 2/3 innings.

The 44-year-old lefthander faced Baltimore once last season, getting the win after allowing one earned run in seven innings during a 9-2 victory.

San Diego closer Trevor Hoffman, who earned the 500th save of his career earlier this month, is one save away from recording his 500th save as a member of the Padres.

The Orioles coasted to a 7-1 victory over Padres here on Wednesday. The first four batters in the Baltimore lineup - Brian Roberts, Nick Markakis, Kevin Millar and Miguel Tejada went 8-for-16 with three RBI in the win. Baltimore has just three wins in its last 17 games.
