A's aim to end eight-game slide

Jul 17, 2007 - 3:47 PM Texas (40-52) at Oakland (44-49) 10:05 pm EDT

OAKLAND, California (Ticker) - The reeling Oakland Athletics will try to snap their season-high eight-game skid when they host the Texas Rangers on Tuesday.

Jamey Wright supplied seven scoreless innings and Jerry Hairston Jr. drove in two runs for the Rangers in Monday's 4-1 triumph.

Oakland's offense has gone dormant, scoring just three runs or less in each of its last 11 games.

Oakland's Chad Gaudin (8-4, 3.18 ERA) has the task of stopping the slide. In his last outing, the righthander gave up five runs in four frames in a 6-2 setback at Minnesota on July 12.

Gaudin was dominant in his last outing against Texas, tossing 6 2/3 scoreless innings for a 5-3 triumph here on May 28. He is 1-2 all-time in the series.

The Rangers will send Robinson Tejeda (5-8, 6.70), who aims for his first win in more than a month. The Dominican righthander give up four runs and six hits in 5 1/3 frames during a loss to Anaheim on July 5.

Tejeda was hammered for five runs in just three frames in his last visit here for his first career setback in the series in four starts.
