White Sox try to find their bats against Athletics

Apr 9, 2007 - 3:03 PM Chi White Sox (2-3) at Oakland (3-4) 10:05 pm EDT

OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- The Chicago White Sox ran into a pitcher on top of his game Sunday. They hope to have an easier time with Rich Harden.

The White Sox begin a six-game road trip Monday when they visit Harden and the Oakland Athletics.

Chicago managed just two hits against reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana on Sunday, dropping a 3-1 decision to fall to 2-3.

Harden has been just as tough on the White Sox in his career, posting a 3-1 record with a 2.90 ERA in five career starts. The 25-year-old righthander pitched a gem in his first start, surrendering just three hits while striking out seven in seven scoreless frames against Seattle.

Chicago counters with Jose Contreras, who had no such luck in his opening outing, giving up seven earned runs and seven hits in one-plus innings. The Cuban righthander owns a career 1-3 mark with a 7.61 ERA in five starts against the A's.
