Twins' Santana shoots for 16th win

Sep 21, 2007 - 2:34 PM Chi White Sox (66-87) at Minnesota (75-77) 8:10 pm EDT

MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) - Minnesota Twins lefthander Johan Santana looks to continue his mastery of the Chicago White Sox when the two teams open a three-game series on Friday.

With both sides eliminated from playoff contention, the only point of interest in this game will be whether Santana can nail down his fourth consecutive season with at least 16 wins.

Santana (15-12, 3.14 ERA) has won all three starts against the White Sox this season, posting a 2.05 ERA in 22 innings and striking out 26 batters along the way. For his career, the 28-year-old is 13-5 with a 3.03 ERA against the American League Central foe.

The White Sox counter with Mark Buehrle (9-9, 3.55), who essentially provided the highlight of the team's forgettable season when he no-hit the Texas Rangers on April 18.

The lefthander's 19-career victories against the Twins are the most he has against any team. Buehrle is 9-5 with a 3.90 ERA in 16 career appearances - 14 starts - at the Metrodome.

The Twins, who own an 8-7 lead in the season series with Chicago, are in danger of having their first losing season since 2000.
