Twins aim to bounce back vs. White Sox

MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) - The Minnesota Twins look to rebound against the Chicago White Sox in the second game of their weekend series on Saturday.

Scott Baker (9-8, 4.15 ERA) takes the hill for the Twins, who have lost five straight games and 11 of their last 14 against American League Central foes.

Last Sunday, the 26-year-old righthander allowed four runs and eight hits in seven innings in a setback to the Detroit Tigers. Baker is 1-1 with a 8.69 ERA in four career starts against Chicago.

Chicago's Javier Vazquez (13-8, 3.83) goes in search of his third consecutive winning decision after holding Kansas City to two runs over eight frames in Monday's 11-3 win.

On September 7, the righthander gave up four runs on a season-worst 11 hits through six innings in a no-decision agianst Minnesota. Vazquez is 3-5 lifetime against the Twins.

In Friday's series opener, Josh Fields hit a pair of solo homers and Jim Thome added a three-run blast to carry the White Sox to a 6-4 victory.
