<h3>Pitching takes center stage in Oakland</h3>



Minnesota (28-26) at Oakland (27-27), 4:05 pm EDT

OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- The Oakland Athletics beat theMinnesota Twins, 1-0, in a pitchers' duel on Saturday. Sunday'sgame between the teams has the potential to be similar.

Defending American League Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana(6-4, 3.21 ERA) takes the mound for Minnesota looking to improveon his perfect record at McAfee Coliseum. Oakland counterswith Chad Gaudin (5-1, 2.32), who has been excellent over hislast three starts, posting a 3-0 record and 0.90 ERA.

Both starters went the distance as Joe Blanton got the better ofCarlos Silva in Saturday's game. Blanton allowed just threehits en route to his second career shutout. A hard-luck loser,Silva allowed just five hits.

Santana is 3-0 with a 2.65 ERA in six career appearances inOakland, which includes two relief appearances. Santana haspitched at least five innings in 102 straight starts dating backto May 29, 2004 - the longest streak in Twins history and thefifth longest streak in the majors during the last 50 years.

The last time the lefthander failed to toss at least five frameswas May 23, 2004 against the Chicago White Sox.

Minnesota's Luis Castillo has hit safely in 20 of his last 22games and is batting .385 with 11 multiple-hit games during thatstretch.

Castillo also has a 140-game errorless streak dating back to hislast miscue on May 29, 2006. It is an ongoing major-leaguerecord for errorless games by a second baseman surpassing theold mark of 123-games set by Chicago Cubs' Hall-of-Famer RyanSandberg from June 21, 1989 to May 17, 1990.

Oakland reliever Alan Embree, who is filling in for injuredcloser Huston Street, has recorded a save in three of his lastfive appearances after collecting just eight saves over thefirst 729 games of his career. His 11 career saves are thefewest by a reliever with 700 or more games pitched.
