Hendrickson looks to conclude unbeaten stretch
Baltimore (72-88) at Tampa Bay (67-93), 6:15 pm EDT
ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Ticker) -- In the last two months,
Mark Hendrickson
has been the closest thing to a sure thing for a team that is 26 games below .500.
Hendrickson makes his final start of the season Sunday when the
Tampa Bay Devil Rays
host the
Baltimore Orioles
.
Since July 30, Hendrickson (11-7, 6.06 ERA) is 7-0 with a 4.63 ERA and has gotten plenty of run support, averaging more than six per nine innings this season.
In his last start, Hendrickson gave up four runs and eight hits in eight innings of Sunday's win against the
Los Angeles Angels
of Anaheim.
Baltimore's
Rodrigo Lopez
(14-12, 4.97) has dropped five of his last six starts and is still looking to tie his career high for victories set in 2002. He yielded six runs and six hits in four innings of Monday's loss to the
New York Yankees
.
Melvin Mora
belted his 25th homer of the season - his sixth in September - to lead the Orioles to a 7-6 victory over Tampa Bay on Friday.
Aubrey Huff
slammed a three run homer for the
Devil Rays
, who trail the season series against the Orioles, 10-6.
