Jul 16, 2007 - 1:11 PM Chi White Sox (40-50) at Cleveland (54-37) 7:05 pm EDT

CLEVELAND (Ticker) - Rookie John Danks has a daunting task ahead of him.

Danks takes the mound as the Chicago White Sox face the Cleveland Indians in the opener of a three-game series on Monday.

Danks (5-6. 4.62 ERA), who is unbeaten in his last five starts, will face the team with the best home mark in baseball. The rookie lefthander enters the contest having lost his last three decisions.

Cleveland , which is 33-13 at home, has won 12 of its last 15 games at Jacobs Field. The Indians have won all 11 of their home series against Americab League teams.

Indians starter Cliff Lee (5-5, 5.23) is heading in the opposite direction. After starting the season on the disabled and then getting off to a slow start, the lefthander is 3-1 in his last five outings.

Lee will hope to contain White Sox slugger Paul Konerko, who is a .371 (13-for-35) hitter with four homers in his career against against him.
