Final
Colon, Angels look for fifth straight win vs. Orioles
Jun 30, 2007 - 1:00 PM La Angels (50-30) at Baltimore (34-45), 7:05 pm EDTBALTIMORE (Ticker) -- After becoming the first team to win 50 games, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim look to Bartolo Colon to keep it going.
Colon and the Angels look to win their fifth straight vs. the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.
The Angels blew a five-run lead then rallied for a 9-7 victory over the Orioles n Friday. Howie Kendrick's two-out two-run homer off closer Chris Ray, proved to be the difference.
Colon (6-3, 5.90 ERA) takes the mound hoping to improve on a 1-3 record in his last six starts. The 2005 American League Cy Young Award winner earned a no decision in 4-3, 10-inning victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
The burly 34-year-old is 8-5 in 16 starts vs. Baltimore, although he is only 3-4 in eight Camden Yards appearances.
The Orioles, who are 4-9 vs. the American League West, counter with Brian Burres (3-2, 3.36). The lefthander, who has not recorded a decision since defeating Anaheim, has seen his team lose his last four starts.
The 26-year-old surrendered four runs and four hits in 4 1/3 innings in a 7-4 loss last Saturday at Arizona. The win vs. the Angels last month was his only appearance vs. Anaheim.
