Surging Orioles welcome slumping Angels

Jun 29, 2007 - 1:14 PM LA Angels (49-30) at Baltimore (34-43) 7:05 pm EDT

BALTIMORE (Ticker) - A quick glance at the records of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the Baltimore Orioles doesn't give much insight into which team is hot right now.

The American League West-leading Angels hope to avoid a fourth consecutive loss on Friday when they open a three-game series against the Orioles.

Not only have the Angels lost three straight, but they have done it against the lowly Kansas City Royals, getting outscored 18-7 in the series.

The Orioles, on the other hand, have won five of their last seven games after an eight-game slide that got their manager - Sam Perlozzo fired.

Kelvim Escobar (9-3, 2.81 ERA) will try to get the Angels back on the winning track. The Venezuelan righthander has allowed three runs or less in 12 of his 14 outings this season, and is 3-0 over his last four starts.

However, one of his worst starts this season came against Baltimore on May 31 when he allowed five runs and nine hits in eight innings to take the loss.

Countering for the Orioles will be veteran Steve Trachsel (5-6, 4.55). The righthander has been getting crushed lately, surrendering 14 runs in 15 2/3 innings over three starts - going 0-2 over that span.

He lasted a season-low three innings against Anaheim on June 2, taking a loss after giving up five runs and five hits.
