Indians look to pad AL Central lead at lowly White Sox

Sep 10, 2007 - 2:15 PM Cleveland (83-60) at Chi White Sox (61-82) 8:11 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) - The Cleveland Indians are one of the hottest teams in the major leagues and are headed for their first trip to the postseason since 2001. The Chicago White Sox look like they have given up on the season.

The Indians will look to continue their charge to the playoffs on Monday when they open a three-game series against the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field.

Cleveland has won 15 of its last 19 games to open up a six-game cushion over the Detroit Tigers (77-66) in the American League Central. They escaped the AL West-leading Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim with a split of a four-game series over the weekend.

Chicago is plummeting in the opposite direction, losing 21 of its last 28 games to fall into last place in the Central.

Fausto Carmona (15-8, 3.27 ERA) will take the mound for the Indians. The 23-year-old righthander has been dominant for much of the season, but was knocked around by the White Sox on August 31, allowing five runs and seven hits in six innings. He did not factor in an 8-5 win.

Chicago will counter with Gavin Floyd (1-2, 6.20). The White Sox have lost the last seven games in which the 24-year-old righthander has appeared.

Floyd has actually pitched well of late, allowing just four runs over his last two starts - a span of 12 innings.
