Danks takes mound for scuffling White Sox

Jun 25, 2007 - 1:35 PM Chi White Sox (29-42) at Tampa Bay (33-40) 7:10 pm EDT

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Ticker) - John Danks and the struggling Chicago White Sox open a four-game series with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Monday.

Danks (3-6, 4.61 ERA), who is winless in his last four starts, will be trying to prevent Chicago from losing six straight for the first time in two years.

The White Sox have not lost six in a row since August 12-20, 2005. This marks the first time since 1998 that the White Sox enter a series against the Devil Rays with a worse record than them.

In his last start, Danks, who has three no-decisions and a loss his last four outings, yielded four runs and eight hits in four innings against Florida on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Tampa Bay has not had much success lately, losing seven of its last 11 games.

J.P. Howell (1-1 4.26) takes the hill also for the Devil Rays. After winning his first start of the season June 3, Howell is winless in his last three outings.
