Sosa looks to end woes against Orioles

Aug 22, 2007 - 1:41 PM Texas (54-70) at Baltimore (58-65) (2ND GAME)

BALTIMORE (Ticker) - Sammy Sosa will look to put a halt to his struggles against his former team when the Texas Rangers face the Baltimore Orioles in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader and the finale of a three-game series.

Sosa went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Orioles. The 38-year-old slugger is 1-for-11 (.091) with seven strikeouts against the Orioles this season.

Sosa will face rookie Garrett Olson (1-2, 6.38 ERA), who will make just his fifth career start. The lefthander was tagged for five runs and six hits with four walks over 2 2/3 innings in a 5-2 setack against Toronto on Friday.

The Rangers will counter with John Rheinecker (1-1, 5.82), who is winless in his last five outings. Rheinecker, who was originally scheduled to start on Monday vs. Erik Bedard before it was rained out, has won just once since July 3, 2006.
