'He's A Starter,' Kranitz Says, After Rare Relief Appearance

ORIOLES NOTEBOOK

July 19, 2009|By Dan Connolly , dan.connolly@baltsun.com

Orioles manager Dave Trembley said the run of left-handers has been a strange coincidence, but it hasn't been a problem.

"I think it has been an unusual rotation that we've faced, but what are you going to do about it?" Trembley said. "I have much more of a challenge doing a lineup when there is no DH, when you are playing National League clubs. That's the challenging part of the season because you are playing with one less guy. This has just been something you deal with."

The streak ends today, when the White Sox start right-hander Jose Contreras.

"It is something that occurred," Trembley said. "Maybe in 30 years it'll happen to somebody else's team."

Sox feel at home on Fox

The Orioles were featured for the first time this season on Fox's Saturday broadcast, but the White Sox are no stranger to the network.

Saturday's game marked the fifth time this year that Fox has aired a White Sox game. And it's been a pretty good trend for the South Siders.

With Saturday's win, the White Sox are 5-0 in Fox games this season. In those contests, they have scored 31 runs and allowed just nine earned runs.
