Oakland Athletics vs San Francisco Giants
10:15 PM ET, May 20, 2011
AT&T Park, San Francisco, California
Off to another solid start after a breakthrough 2010 season, Trevor Cahill is firmly established as the Oakland Athletics' ace.
Very few ever thought Ryan Vogelsong would be pitching like one after a five-year layoff.
The latest installment of the Bay Bridge Series gets going Friday night, when Cahill will try to halt the Athletics' long skid in San Francisco against Vogelsong and the Giants.
Oakland (22-22) won seven straight in San Francisco between 2006 and 2008, but have come away empty in each of six visits after that. The A's starting staff has posted a 6.21 ERA during the losing streak compared to 3.68 from the bullpen.
An 18-game winner in 2010, Cahill (6-1, 1.82 ERA) will try again to become the first in the majors with seven victories this year.
The right-hander suffered his first loss since Sept. 26 on Sunday, when he allowed four runs and a season-high 10 hits in seven innings of a 4-3 defeat to the Chicago White Sox.
