White Sox look to stop slide against Royals

Aug 20, 2007 - 2:26 PM Kansas City (55-68) at Chi White Sox (54-69) 8:11 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) - The Chicago White Sox will look to halt their eight-game losing streak when they host the Kansas City Royals on Monday in the opener of a three-game series.

Jermaine Dye is 6-for-30 (.200) with no extra-base hits, no RBI and just one run scored over the White Sox's current losing skid. The 33-year-old outfielder has posted a .242 batting average with a team-high 24 homers and 62 RBI this season.

Chicago will send Mark Beuhrle (9-8, 3.36 ERA) to the mound in hopes of ending their miserable stretch. The lefthander hurled seven frames, allowing three runs and seven hits with three walks and four strikeouts in a 3-2 setback to the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.

Beuhrle will be opposed by Royals righthander Gil Meche (7-11, 3.90), who has lost each of his last five starts. The 28-year-old Meche has a 5.16 ERA in that span.

Kansas City has won three of its last four contests.
