Lackey takes the hill for Angels in series finale

Jul 1, 2007 - 1:56 PM LA Angels (50-31) at Baltimore (35-44) 1:35 pm EDT

BALTIMORE (Ticker) - Ace John Lackey hopes to get back to his winning ways when the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim meet the Baltimore Orioles in the finale of a weekend series on Sunday.

Lackey (10-5, 2.99 ERA) has been dismal since earning his 10th win, surrendering 11 runs and 15 hits in 12 2/3 innings in his last two outings.

The 6-6 righthander 5-2 in eight career starts against the Orioles, including a 3-2 win at home, where he pitched 7 1/3 effective innings on June 1.

Baltimore gives the ball to Jeremy Guthrie (4-1, 2.45), who goes for his first win since May 8. In his last start, he allowed two runs with six strikeouts in 6 1/3 frames but did not get a decision in a 3-2 win against the New York Yankees on Tuesday.

Guthrie is winless in two lifetime appearances - one start - with a 3.24 ERA against the Angels.

Rookie Brian Burres tossed seven-plus solid innings and Ramon Hernandez belted his fourth homer of the season as Baltimore posted a 6-3 victory on Saturday.

The Orioles are 6-4 since interim manager Dave Trembley took over for the fired Sam Perlozzo on June 18.
