(Sports Network) - Right-hander Andy Sonnanstine can make it four starts without a loss tonight when the Tampa Bay Rays visit Camden Yards for the second of three games with the host Baltimore Orioles.
Sonnanstine began the season with a win and a loss in two starts, but has since strung together a no-decision and two victories, including a complete- game blanking of the Chicago White Sox on April 19.
In his last outing, on April 24, he gave up six hits and three runs in 6 1/3 innings en route to a 5-3 triumph over the Toronto Blue Jays.
He's 1-2 in three career starts against Baltimore, posting an 8.04 earned run average in 15 2/3 innings.
First-year Oriole righty Matt Albers gets a spot start.
The former 23rd-round draft pick of the Houston Astros made his lone start of the season on April 14 against Toronto, defeating the Blue Jays, 4-3, with five innings of five-hit, one-run ball.
He's made eight appearances from the bullpen, including a scoreless, hitless, 2 2/3-inning effort on March 31 in Baltimore, a game the Rays won, 6-2.
In those eight relief appearances, he's given up eight hits and three runs in 11 1/3 innings, striking out nine and walking two.
On Tuesday, Aubrey Huff hit a two-run homer as the Orioles downed the Rays, 7-4.
Melvin Mora drove in a pair of runs while Luis Hernandez went 2-for-4 with two runs scored for the Orioles, who snapped a two-game skid.
Garrett Olson (1-0) picked up the win as he gave up just two runs on four hits with five walks and six strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings of work.
B.J. Upton smacked a two-run homer while Carl Crawford and Akinori Iwamura each drove in a run and scored a run for the Rays, who had a six-game winning streak stopped.
Jason Hammel (2-2) got the loss as he was banged up for three runs on six hits in 2 2/3 innings of work.
The teams have split six games so far this season, with the Orioles winning two of the three played at Camden Yards.
