Final
Orioles seek to end Sunday misery vs. Angels
Jul 27, 2008 - 2:12 PM LA Angels (64-39) at Baltimore (48-55) 1:35 pm EDTBALTIMORE (Ticker) -- The Baltimore Orioles aim to snap a 16-game Sunday losing streak when they wrap up a three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
The Orioles, who have lost six straight overall, have not won on Sunday since April 6. Baltimore has a ways to go before reaching the major-league record of 21 straight losses on a specific day. The 1939 St. Louis Browns and 1890 Pittsburgh Innocents both did it on Tuesdays.
The Orioles are having trouble winning no matter what day it is, and Garrett Olson (6-5, 6.11 ERA) is not the ideal candidate to put an end to both their streaks.
The lefthander 1-4 with an 8.62 ERA in his last eight games and has not won since June 28. Olson isn't the only Baltimore starter struggling. Orioles starters have an ERA of 10.23 during their current five-game skid. On Saturday, rookie Radhames Liz was rocked for six runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings of an 11-4 loss.
Los Angeles, which has won four straight, hands the ball to Ervin Santana (11-4, 3.37)., who seems to have solved his road woes, as he is 8-1 with a 3.44 ERA in 12 starts away from Angel Stadium this season. Last season, the righthander went 1-10 with an 8.38 ERA on the road.
