Vazquez looks to lead White Sox to first sweep

Jun 28, 2007 - 2:52 PM Chi White Sox (32-42) at Tampa Bay (33-43) 7:10 pm EDT

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Ticker) -- Javier Vazquez takes the mound as the Chicago White Sox aim for their first three-game sweep of the season on Thursday.

Vazquez (3-5, 4.15 ERA), who is winless in his last four outings, will try and help the White Sox sweep the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

The righthander is coming off a solid start, but has nothing to show for it. Vazquez received a no-decision on Saturday against Chicago despite allowing just one run and five hits in seven innings.

Vazquez will face off against Scott Kazmir for the second time this season, and will look to avenge a previous loss on May 27.

Kazmir (5-3, 4.13) is unbeaten in his last four starts and has won both his starts against the White Sox, posting a 3.21 ERA. Kazmir allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.

However, he is still in search of his first home win of the season. The 24-year-old lefthander is 0-2 with a 3.83 ERA in nine home starts and has not won here since he shut out the Boston Red Sox last July 3.
