SEATTLE (Ticker) - Gavin Floyd and the Chicago White Sox hope to complete a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
In his last start, Floyd (3-1, 2.50 ERA) came within two outs of pitching a no-hitter as he allowed just one hit over 8 1/3 innings in Tuesday's 7-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins.
It was the 25-year-old Floyd's second close call this season as he held the Detroit Tigers hitless through 7 1/3 innings on April 12.
"Gavin has got confidence now," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "It seems like nothing bothers him. It was nice to see, especially with the team struggling the way we have."
The righthander is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in three career appearances against the Mariners, who pounded Floyd for seven runs in four-plus innings in his lone start against Seattle on August 11, 2007.
Brian Anderson and Carlos Quentin homered during a six-run second inning as the White Sox posted an 8-4 win over the Mariners on Saturday.
Seattle counters with Miguel Batista (2-4, 5.66), who lasted only 2 1/3 innings in his last start, giving up six runs in Tuesday's 10-1 drubbing to the Texas Rangers.
