Vazquez, White Sox look to sweep series vs. Royals

Apr 24, 2007 - 1:57 PM Chi White Sox (10-8) at Kansas City (6-13) 8:10 pm EDT

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- The Chicago White Sox will try and complete a two-game series sweep of the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.

Failing to make the postseason after its World Series title run in 2005, Chicago started this season slow but has bounced back to win six of its last seven.

Chicago's Javier Vazquez (2-0, 2.50 ERA) aims for the second 3-0 start of his career, last doing so during the 2000 campaign. The righthander surrendered three runs and four hits in six innings but did not factor in the decision in last Thursday's 6-4 triumph over Texas.

Paul Konerko went 3-for-4 with two homers and five RBI as the White Sox posted a 7-4 victory in the series opener on Monday.

Brian Bannister (NR) will make his first start for Kansas City in place of Brandon Duckworth, who was sent to the bullpen by manager Buddy Bell.

Acquired in the offseason from the New York Mets for Ambiorix Burgos, Bannister is 2-1 with a 4.26 ERA in eight lifetime appearances, including six starts.
