Buehrle, White Sox aim for series win

Aug 9, 2007 - 1:35 PM Cleveland (64-50) at Chi White Sox (53-60) 8:11 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- After winning a thrilling extra-innings battle on Wednesday, the Chicago White Sox hope to receive an efficient outing from Mark Buehrle a day later when they host the Cleveland Indians.

Juan Uribe hit a walk-off two-run homer in the 13th inning Wednesday to send Chicago to a 6-4 victory, giving the White Sox their fifth win in six games.

What would make the task easier for Buehrle (9-6, 3.03 ERA) on Thursday would be if Indians slugger Travis Hafner, who left Wednesday's game early with left knee tightness, needs to sit out.

The lefthanded Buehrle will be going for his third straight win after Friday's 7-4 triumph, when he allowed three runs over eight frames for his third win in four starts. He is 8-10 with a 4.48 ERA in 27 outings - 26 starts - against Cleveland.

Dueling Buehrle will be rookie Aaron Laffey (0-1, 5.06), who will be making his second career start and first against the Indians. In his major league debut on Saturday, he permitted three runs and six hits over 5 1/3 innings in a 3-2 loss versus Minnesota.
