White Sox seek fifth straight win

May 13, 2007 - 1:07 PM Kansas City (11-26) at Chi White Sox (18-15) 2:05 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Chicago White Sox seek their fifth straight win when they host the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.

The White Sox will start Javier Vasquez (2-1, 3.52). The veteran righthander pitched well in his outing on Tuesday, yielding one run and five hits over seven innings, but did not factor in the decision against Minnesota.

Vasquez had his poorest outing of the season on April 24 at Kansas City. The 30-year-old surrendered five runs and seven hits in six innings.

Jorge De La Rosa (3-3, 4.06 ERA) takes the mound for the Royals. The 26-year-old lefthander suffered through his worst outing of the season on Tuesday against Oakland.

De La Rosa allowed six runs - five earned - and 10 hits in just 4 1/3 innings. Pitching on the road has been especially difficult for De La Rosa this season, as he has managed a 0-2 record with a 6.50 ERA away from Kauffman Stadium.

The Royals missed out on an opportunity to improve their poor road record when closer Joakim Soria surrendered a ninth-inning run and Brandon Duckworth lost the game in the 10th. Kansas City owns a major league worst 4-12 road mark.
