Orioles host White Sox in second-half opener

Jul 12, 2007 - 1:10 PM Chi White Sox (39-47) at Baltimore (38-49) 7:05 pm EDT

BALTIMORE (Ticker) - The Baltimore Orioles biggest surprise during the first half of the season takes the mound when the team hosts the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.

Jeremy Guthrie (4-2, 2.74 ERA) began the season in the Orioles' bullpen, but has developed into one of the team's most reliable starters.

Thrust into the rotation in May due to injuries to Jaret Wright and Adam Loewen, the righthander is 3-2 with a 2.16 ERA in 13 starts. Much like teammate Erik Bedard, Guthrie's record could be much better if not for the Orioles' offensive struggles and ineffective bullpen.

The 28-year-old, making his first career start against the White Sox, has pitched seven innings or more in nine of his last 11 starts.

Jon Garland (6-6, 3.92) gets the start for the White Sox, who own a modest two-game win streak. The 6-6 righthander will be looking to rebound from his nightmarish performance against the Minnesota Twins on Friday. In a 20-14 defeat, Garland was tagged for a 12 runs in just 3 1/3 innings.

The White Sox have hit 22 home runs in their last 14 games and have won 10 of 15.

Baltimore has not won the season series against the White Sox since 1999. Since then, the White Sox are 35-20 against the Orioles, including two wins in four meetings this season.
