Millwood and Rangers visit Athletics

Sep 13, 2007 - 1:44 PM Texas (69-76) at Oakland (71-76) 10:05 pm EDT

OAKLAND, California (Ticker) - Kevin Millwood takes the mound on three days' rest as the Texas Rangers visit the Oakland Athletics in the opener of a four-game series on Thursday.

Texas has been hot of late, winning 13 of its last 16 and has a chance to finish the season at .500 for the first time since 2004.

On Wednesday, the Rangers were shut down by American League Cy Young Award candidate Justin Verlander in a 5-1 loss to Detroit.

Millwood (9-11, 5.31 ERA) sat through two rain delays and allowed one run and one hit in 1 1/3 innings before leaving in a 12-9 win over Kansas City on Sunday. Prior to that, the righthander was rocked for six runs and eight hits in five innings, but did not factor into the decision in a 9-8 win over the Royals on September 4.

Chad Gaudin (10-11, 4.47) has just two win in his last 12 starts, and is coming off consecutive losses. The converted reliever has allowed 13 runs and 18 hits in his last 8 2/3 innings.

Oakland, which has lost six of nine, failed to complete a three-game sweep of Seattle, as Yuniesky Betancourt hit a walk-off single in the ninth for a 6-5 win on Wednesday.
