White Sox 3 - 4 Blue Jays
Final
  for this game

Halladay hopes to snap personal slide

May 4, 2008 - 2:17 PM Chi White Sox (14-14) at Toronto (14-17) 1:07 pm EDT

TORONTO (Ticker) -- While Roy Halladay has been on his game over his last four starts, the Toronto Blue Jays' lineup has not held up its end of the bargain.

Halladay hopes to avoid becoming the first pitcher in 28 years with four straight complete-game losses Sunday when the Blue Jays host the Chicago White Sox.

Halladay (2-4, 3.26 ERA) registered his fourth consecutive complete game on Tuesday after allowing just one run in 8 2/3 innings of a 1-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox.

Since Halladay's 4-1 win vs. Texas to start the streak of consecutive complete-games, the Blue Jays have provided him with just four runs of support over the next three contests.

Another complete-game loss on Sunday would make Halladay the first pitcher since Oakland's Rick Langford to lose at least four straight complete games in a row. The former Athletics righthander dropped six such games in a row in 1980.

Halladay will be opposed by Jose Contreras (2-2, 3.98), who permitted just one run over 6 2/3 innings in a 6-1 victory against Baltimore.
