AL: BALTIMORE (57-64) at TORONTO (62-60) <h3>Halladay faces Orioles, seeks fourth straight win</h3> <div class="pre">Baltimore (57-64) at Toronto (62-60) 1:07 pm EDT</div> TORONTO (Ticker) -- A pair of pitchers heading in oppositedirections will be on the mound Sunday as the Toronto Blue Jayshost the Baltimore Orioles in the finale of a three-game set. Toronto starter Roy Halladay (14-5, 3.99 ERA) will be seekinghis fourth victory in as many starts as the Blue Jays look totake the rubber game of this series. The former Cy Young Award winner pitched a complete game in hislast outing on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels ofAnaheim. The righthander allowed just five hits and a walk inthe 4-1 victory. Halladay has traditionally given the Orioles problems as he's14-4 with a 2.92 ERA in 23 career appearances - 19 starts -against the team. Jeremy Guthrie (7-4, 3.50) counters for the Orioles, who wonhere for the first time since August 8, 2006 on Saturday. The rookie righthander has been a bright spot for the Oriolesthis season, but is struggling in August going 0-1 in with a9.00 ERA in three starts. Those starts came against the NewYork Yankees, Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox - all playoffcontenders. Toronto designated hitter Frank Thomas walked for the 1,612thtime in his career during Saturday's 5-3 loss, moving him twobase on balls away from tying Eddie Yost for ninth all-time. The Blue Jays have hit a double in 25 consecutive games which isthe longest active streak in the majors. The club record is 31(April 11-May 14, 2004). The last time the Orioles won two games in a series at Torontowas August 30-September 1, 2005.
