Silva, Vazquez hook up again as Twins face White Sox

Apr 7, 2007 - 3:36 PM Minnesota (3-0) at Chi White Sox (1-2) 8:10 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Carlos Silva and Javier Vazquez will face off in a rematch of the final game of the 2006 regular season when the Minnesota Twins meet the Chicago White Sox on Friday.

The Twins are looking for their first 4-0 start in 20 years.

The last time these pitchers faced off, Silva allowed one run and five hits in 5 1/3 innings in a 5-1 victory. The win, along with a loss by Detroit later in the day, gave the Twins their fourth Central Division title in five years.

Silva was 11-15 with an inflated 5.94 ERA in 36 games, including 31 starts, last season. He did not fare well at U.S. Cellular Field, posting a 1-2 record with a 8.10 ERA in three starts here.

Vazquez was 11-12 with a 4.84 ERA in 2006, including an 0-4 record with a 6.83 ERA in five starts against Minnesota in 2006.

The Twins started the season with a three-game sweep of Baltimore, including a 7-2 victory on Wednesday. Ramon Ortiz pitched seven strong innings and Michael Cuddyer had three hits and two RBI.

Chicago avoided getting swept by Cleveland with a 4-3 win on Thursday. A.J. Pierzynski was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Chicago the victory.
