Upton looks to lead Devil Rays to fourth straight win

Aug 27, 2007 - 1:12 PM Tampa Bay (51-79) at Chi White Sox (56-74) 2:05 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) - B.J. Upton hopes his hot bat can lift the Tampa Bay Devils to their fourth consecutive win when they visit the Chicago White Sox on Monday in the opener of a three-game series.

Upton is 5-for-13 (.385) with two homers and six RBI over the Devil Rays' three-game winning streak. The 23-year-old speedster is hitting .307 with 20 blasts and 63 RBI this season.

Tampa Bay will send Edwin Jackson (4-12, 5.49 ERA) to the mound. The 23-year-old Jackson has won two of his last three starts.

The White Sox will counter with Jose Contreras (6-16, 6.18), who lost each of his last nine starts even though he did pick up a victory in a relief appearance. The Cuban righthander is 2-12 over the past three months.

Chicago has lost five straight contests and have fallen to last place in the American League Central.
