(Sports Network) - The Baltimore Orioles will try to make it two in a row tonight, as they resume a four-game series with the Detroit Tigers at Camden Yards.
On Friday, Luke Scott belted two of Baltimore's four home runs in a 7-4 victory.
Scott was 2-for-4 with three RBI while Aubrey Huff and Melvin Mora also went deep for the O's.
In his first career outing against the Tigers, Jeremy Guthrie (6-7) scattered 12 hits and two walks across six-plus innings to give up four runs while striking out five for Baltimore, which snapped a three-game losing streak.
George Sherrill, who had blown three of his last five save opportunities, picked up his 29th save, second-best in the American League behind the Angels' Francisco Rodriguez.
Armando Galarraga (7-4) went 6 2/3 innings allowing five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits while striking out six for the Tigers, who have lost four of their last six.
Ivan Rodriguez's 4-for-4 night included a home run while Curtis Granderson was 2-for-4 with an RBI double.
The Tigers will send Nate Robertson to the mound tonight in hope he can get them back into the win column. The left-hander is 4-1 with a 3.05 ERA in seven career starts versus the O's, and he is 4-0 with a 1.98 ERA in his last six encounters against them.
Robertson was last in action on July 12th, when he yielded five earned runs and 10 hits over seven innings of a 6-5 loss to the Minnesota Twins. He struck out four and walked none in receiving the loss.
Countering for Baltimore will be Daniel Cabrera, who is 1-4 with a 5.25 ERA over his last 10 outings. In his most recent appearance, the right-hander allowed one earned run and six hits over just 4 1/3 innings of a 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on July 13th. He walked six and struck out two in the setback.
In his career against Detroit, Cabrera is 3-1 with a 5.61 ERA in six starts. The O's have won five of his six appearances against the Tigers.
Detroit has won six of the last seven meetings with Baltimore.
