CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Chicago White Sox have been dominant at home this season but may have trouble extending their eight-game winning streak at U.S. Cellular Field on Wednesday when they host staff ace C.C. Sabathia and the Cleveland Indians.
The White Sox improved to 29-11 at home on Tuesday, claiming a 3-2 win over the Indians on the strength of Orlando Cabrera's RBI single in the 10th inning. The victory was Chicago's sixth in a row and eighth in 11 meetings this season against the American League Central Division rival Indians.
Sabathia (6-8, 3.78 ERA) tries to halt the White Sox success and earn his fourth win in as many decisions when he toes the rubber on Wednesday.
The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner has been stellar over his last four outings despite a mounting number of trade rumors. Sabathia has allowed just four runs in 32 innings, striking out 36 while walking only four en route to a 3-0 record over that span.
Jose Contreras (7-6, 3.99) counters for Chicago seeking his second straight win after losing his previous three starts.
