Halladay Hopes To Stay Hot In Baltimore

(Sports Network) - Toronto right-hander Roy Halladay can continue a remarkable run of success against Baltimore today when the Blue Jays visit the Orioles for the finale-and-a-half of a four-game series at Camden Yards.

Wednesday's contest was suspended due to heavy rain in the top of the sixth inning with the Blue Jays ahead, 2-1.

The teams will resume play at 12:05 before playing the final game.

Marco Scutaro and Lyle Overbay each knocked in a run for Toronto, while starter A.J. Burnett gave up one run on six hits and struck out seven in five innings of work.

Aubrey Huff tripled and scored the lone run for Baltimore. Jeremy Guthrie, who is unbeaten in his last six outings (3-0), allowed two runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings.

In the full game, Halladay, a 31-year-old right-hander, hopes to improve on a 17-4 record in 27 lifetime games - 23 starts - against the Orioles, including a 5-4 triumph on June 8 in Toronto.

In that game, Halladay allowed eight hits and four runs in 7 2/3 innings, walking none and striking out seven.

Overall against the Orioles, the former first-round draft choice (17th overall, 1995) has allowed 155 hits and 53 earned runs in 163 innings.

Halladay is 3-2 in his last seven starts, most recently dropping a 6-4 verdict at Tampa Bay on July 19.

For Baltimore, right-hander Daniel Cabrera got a no-decision in a July 8 start at Toronto after allowing six hits and four runs in 6 1/3 innings.

The Blue Jays won the game, 7-6.

Cabrera is just 4-7 in 15 lifetime starts against Toronto, posting a 4.48 earned run average in 88 1/3 innings.

He's won just once in his last 10 outings since a 5-1 start, dropping four decisions while watching his ERA rise from 3.60 to 4.57.

Toronto is 6-4 against the Orioles so far this season and split a two-game series with Baltimore at Camden Yards from April 14-15.
