Twins look to snap four-game skid vs. lowly White Sox
Sep 7, 2007 - 1:28 PM Minnesota (69-71) at Chi White Sox (59-81) 8:11 pm EDTCHICAGO (Ticker) - It it is safe to say that the Minnesota Twins will not rally to win the American League Central for a second straight season.
Minnesota looks to snap a four-game skid in the opener of a weekend series with the Chicago White Sox on Friday.
The Twins, who rallied from 10 1/2 games back to win the division last season, have dropped eight of 10 and trail the Cleveland Indians (81-58) by 12 games. Things also look bleak in the wild card race, where they trail the New York Yankees (78-62) by nine games.
Carlos Silva (11-13, 4.34 ERA) takes the mound for Minnesota, which scored just seven runs while being swept in a three-game series by Cleveland. Silva has been horrible on the road, posting a 3-9 record with a 5.52 ERA in 13 starts.
Luckily for Silva, he is facing a Chicago team that has dropped two straight, and an astounding 20 of its last 25 games.
The White Sox counter with Javier Vazquez (11-8, 3.91), who is looking to avoid a season high-tying third straight loss. Vazquez allowed three earned runs and eight hits in six innings of a 7-0 loss to Cleveland on Sunday.
