Final
Bedard looks to continue roll against Twins
Aug 26, 2007 - 1:17 PM Minnesota (66-63) at Baltimore (58-70) 1:35 pm EDTBALTIMORE (Ticker) - When Erik Bedard takes the mound, the Baltimore Orioles usually win. At least that is the way it has been for the past two months.
Bedard looks to win his 10th straight decision as the Orioles conclude a four-game series against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.
With their ace on the mound, the Orioles are trying to stop a five-game losing streak.
Bedard (13-4, 2.97 ERA) has been one of baseball's best pitchers over the past two months as the Orioles have been victorious in his last 12 starts. The Canadian lefthander, who leads the major league with 218 strikeouts, has posted a 9-0 record with a 2.20 ERA since his last loss on June 10.
He will have to stop the red-hot Torii Hunter, who has homered in each of his last two games. Hunter is 5-for-14 (.357) with six RBI in the first three games of this series.
The Twins will send Scott Baker (6-6, 4.50) to the mound. The righthander is winless in his last three starts, surrendering 10 runs and 31 hits over 18 2/3 innings in that span.
