Vazquez has a tough act to follow

Apr 19, 2007 - 2:15 PM Texas (6-8) at Chi White Sox (6-7) 8:11 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- All the buzz is still about Mark Buehrle heading into the rubber game of the series between the Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers.

The lefthander threw the first no-hitter in the American League since 2002, beating the Rangers on Wednesday, 6-0.

Chicago's Javier Vazquez (2-0, 1.50 ERA) has a tough act to follow after Buehrle recorded the 16th no-hitter in franchise history, the first at U.S. Cellular Field and the first since lefthander Wilson Alvarez accomplished the feat against the Baltimore Orioles on August 11, 1991.

The White Sox hit a season-high three homers, including two by Jim Thome, in Wednesday's win. The slugger has five homers this season and is 6-for-8 with a double and three home runs in his last four contests.

Vazquez yielded two runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings, while walking three and striking out seven in Saturday's 6-4 win over Cleveland.

He will be opposed by Rangers starter Vicente Padilla (0-3, 6.62), who has struggled in all three of his starts this season. In his last outing, the righthander allowed six runs - four earned - and six hits in six innings of an 8-3 loss at Seattle.
