Santana gets start against struggling Orioles

Aug 24, 2007 - 2:27 PM Minnesota (64-63) at Baltimore (58-68) 7:05 pm EDT

BALTIMORE (Ticker) -- Johan Santana may not be having his usual sensational second half, but he was spectacular in his last appearance.

Santana will aim for a third straight win when the Minnesota Twins square off against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday in the second of a four-game series.

Santana (13-8, 2.88 ERA), who is just 3-3 since the All-Star break, registered a franchise-record 17 strikeouts and yielded just two hits with no walks in the Twins' 1-0 triumph over the Texas Rangers on Sunday.

The Venezuelan lefthander is second among American League pitchers in strikeouts with 191, trailing only Orioles starter Erik Bedard.

Baltimore, which has lost its last three games by the combined score of 44-12, will send Jeremy Guthrie (7-4, 3.44) to the mound. The Orioles are winless in the last five games in which the 28-year-old righthander has started.

Aubrey Huff homered in Baltimore's 5-2 loss to Minnesota on Thursday. The 30-year-old Huff is batting .358 (26-for-70) with six home runs and 16 RBI in the month of August.
