Angels RHP Lackey seeks 13th win

Jul 25, 2007 - 1:22 PM Oakland (48-52) at LA Angels (57-42) 3:35 pm EDT

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim try to avoid a three-game series sweep by the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.

John Lackey (12-6, 3.21 ERA) has the task of stopping the bleeding for the Angels. Lackey struggled his last outings, getting tagged for seven runs and 10 hits of a 7-5 loss at Minnesota on Friday.

The All-Star righthander has been almost unhittable against Oakland, posting a 10-3 record with a 2.86 ERA in 20 career starts while limiting them to a .229 batting average.

Anaheim has lost seven of its last nine games.

The Athletics will counter with Joe Blanton (8-7, 3.53), who has lost three straight decisions. The 26-year-old surrendered six runs and 10 hits over 5 2/3 frames in a 6-1 loss to Baltimore.

Blanton has also been disappointing against the Angels, going just 1-6 through eight lifetime starts.

Lenny DiNardo tossed 6 2/3 outstanding innings and rookie Travis Buck had four hits - including a homer - as Oakland rallied for a 4-3 triumph on Tuesday.
