Cubs, White Sox renew Windy City rivalry
Jun 22, 2007 - 12:51 PM Chi Cubs (32-39) at Chi White Sox (29-39) 4:05 pm EDTCHICAGO (Ticker) - The Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs renew their rivalry Friday afternoon when the teams meet at U.S. Cellular Field.
The Cubs won two of three games from the White Sox at Wrigley Field from May 18-20.
Trying to lead the Cubs to another win will be Carlos Zambrano (7-6, 4.53 ERA), who pitched 7 1/3 no-hit innings in his last start against the San Diego Padres. After losing his bid at history, Zambrano gave up a solo homer to Russell Branyan in the ninth in a 1-0 loss.
The righthander has won his last four road starts, but has struggled at U.S. Cellular Field, going 1-1 with a 6.16 ERA in three starts. He is 4-2 with a 4.75 ERA in eight lifetime starts against the White Sox, but dropped his last start there on May 20 as he surrendered seven runs and six hits over 6 2/3 innings in a 10-6 loss.
The Cubs enter this contest having lost four of their last five games.
It has been a struggle for the White Sox, who are last in the majors in team batting average and runs.
Mark Buehrle (4-3, 3.45 ERA) gets the ball for the White Sox. The lefthander is trying to win three straight starts for the first time since June 15-27 of last season.
Buehrle is 3-3 with a 5.43 ERA in eight lifetime starts against the Cubs.
