White Sox meet Pirates in rubber game of series

Jun 17, 2007 - 1:23 PM Chi White Sox (28-36) at Pittsburgh (29-39) 1:35 pm EDT

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) - The Chicago White Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates meet in the rubber game of a three-game series Sunday.

After notching just their fourth win in 20 contests Saturday, the White Sox look to capture a series for the first time since taking two of three games against Oakland from May 21-23.

Javier Vazquez (3-5, 4.15 ERA) seeks some run support when he takes the mound for the White Sox. The righthander has watched his offense score just one run in his last two starts - both losses.

Vazquez is 4-3 with a 4.52 ERA lifetime against the Pirates. Zach Duke (3-6, 5.54), who has won once in each month, will face Chicago for just the second time in his career. He surrendered four runs and 10 hits over six innings without receiving a decision in his previous outing.

On Tuesday, the lefthander yielded two runs and eight hits over six innings in a 7-5 win over Texas. Duke, who had allowed at least five runs in each of his previous four starts and six times in his 14 starts this season, leads all major league pitchers with 112 hits allowed.
