Trachsel, Orioles aim for seventh straight win over Devil Rays

Jul 26, 2007 - 1:14 PM Tampa Bay (38-62) at Baltimore (46-54) 12:35 pm EDT

BALTIMORE (Ticker) -- The Baltimore Orioles have not had much success this season. What little success they have had has come against the lowly Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Steve Trachsel (5-7, 5.05 ERA) takes the mound on Thursday as the Orioles try and complete a three-game sweep of the Devil Rays.

Erik Bedard threw six effective innings and Corey Patterson homered as Baltimore posted a 6-1 win on Wednesday - the sixth straight over Tampa Bay and eighth straight at home.

However, Trachsel is responsible for the Orioles' lone loss to the Devil Rays this season. The 36-year-old righthander was touched for six runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings against his former team on April 17.

In his first start since after being on the 15-day disabled list with a strained gluteus muscle, Trachsel allowed four runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings against Oakland on Saturday.

Edwin Jackson (2-9, 6.65) get the ball for Tampa Bay, which has lost five straight overall, and 16 of its last 18 on the road. Jackson picked up his first road win in four years on Friday, tossing six scoreless innings and allowing just four hits in a 14-4 win over the New York Yankees. It was just the second win in 18 starts for Jackson.
