LHP Buehrle returns to the mound for White Sox

Apr 23, 2007 - 1:41 PM Chi White Sox (9-8) at Kansas City (6-12) 8:10 pm EDT

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) - Coming off a no-hitter in his last start, Mark Buehrle takes the mound for the Chicago White Sox on Monday against the Kansas City Royals.

Buehrle (1-0, 2.08 ERA) threw the first no-hitter for the White Sox in 16 years in last Wednesday's 6-0 win over Texas. Wilson Alvarez pitched a no-hitter for Chicago against Baltimore on August 11, 1991.

No pitcher has thrown consecutive no-hitters since Cincinnati's Johnny Vander Meer accomplished the feat against the Boston Braves on June 11, 1938 and the Brooklyn Dodgers four days later.

Buehrle should be happy to see the Royals. He is 15-6 with a 3.26 ERA in his career against Kansas City, including a 7-4 mark at Kauffman Stadium.

After taking two of three games over the weekend from Minnesota for their first series win of the season, the Royals send Gil Meche (1-1, 2.22) to the mound.

Trying to make good on the five-year, $55 million contract he signed in the offseason, Meche has surrendered 10 runs and 27 hits over 28 1/3 innings on the season.
