Sosa hopes to homer again in Windy City

Apr 18, 2007 - 1:31 PM Texas (6-7) at Chi White Sox (5-7) 8:11 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Sammy Sosa made a habit of homering in the Windy City. He hopes to do it again on Wednesday.

Sosa homered in his first game back in Chicago in three years as the Texas Rangers pounded the Chicago White Sox, 8-1 on Tuesday.

The former All-Star, who began his career with the White Sox in 1989, became a star in Chicago with the Cubs, hitting 60 or more homers in a season three times.

Sosa was out of baseball for the entire 2006 campaign, but made the Rangers with a strong spring training and has three homers this season, raising his career total to 590.

Sosa will face Mark Buehrle (0-0, 4.32) on Wednesday. The lefthander retired 17 of the last 18 batters he faced last Wednesday against Oakland.

Kevin Millwood (2-1, 3.71 ERA) starts for Texas.

Chicago's Jim Thome hit his 475th career home run in the opener, moving him into 24th place on the all-time list.






  • RUWTbot I didn't root for this game. It's that human Mark's fault. Read the weakling's apology at areyouwatchingthis.com/blog.
