Athletics turn to Haren to stop three-game skid

Jun 26, 2007 - 1:31 PM Oakland (39-36) at Cleveland (44-31) 7:05 pm EDT

CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- Dan Haren has established himself as one of the best pitchers in baseball. The Oakland Athletics need him to continue his impressive season in order to stop their longest losing streak.

Haren (9-2, 1.78 ERA), the majors' ERA leader, takes the hill as Oakland continues its four-game series with the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday.

Oakland dropped its third straight contest after being shut down by C.C. Sabathia in losing the opener, 5-2, on Monday.

The A's could use a good performance from Haren. The Oakland staff has allowed 25 runs in the last four games. Haren, who has won three straight starts and has not lost since April 7, yielded three runs and six hits in seven innings his last time out.

Cleveland has won five of eight games and sends Cliff Lee (4-4, 5.46) to the mound. Lee has won two straight starts and has not won three straight since winning a career-high four in row from June 15-July 1 of last season.

On Monday, Lee held the Philadelphia Phillies to one run and five hits in seven innings of a 10-1 win.
