Final/11
Harden, Athletics hope to end skid
Jun 20, 2008 - 2:33 PM FLORIDA (39-33) at OAKLAND (39-33), 10:05 pm EDTOAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- Rich Harden looks to remain perfect when the Oakland Athletics try to snap a two-game skid when they face the Florida Marlins in interleague play Friday.
Oakland was edged, 2-1, by Arizona on Thursday for its second straight loss following a four-game winning streak.
The Athletics hand the ball to Harden (4-0, 2.53 ERA), who has not lost in nine outings this year.
The 26-year-old righthander yielded just one hit in six innings of a 4-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. Harden is 4-1 in seven career interleague starts.
The Marlins counter with Mark Hendrickson (7-5, 5.74), who is 0-3 with an 11.65 ERA in his last four outings.
The lefthander has struggled against Oakland - going 1-3 with a 9.00 ERA in four career starts - and has dropped his last four interleague decisions.
Florida is 3-3 on its current nine-game road trip, winning two of its last three in the process.
