Rookie pitchers square off for White Sox, Royals

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- A pair of rookie starting pitchers will square off as the Kansas City Royals take on the Chicago White Sox in the rubber game of a three-game series on Thursday.

With four games to play, the Royals are also trying to avoid finishing in last place of the American League Central for the fourth consecutive season. They are currently in fourth, one game ahead of the White Sox.

Billy Buckner (1-1, 4.50 ERA) will be making his fifth career start for Kansas City. In his last start, the 24-year-old righthander gave up three runs over five innings against Detroit on Friday. He earned his only major league win against Cleveland on September 16.

The White Sox will counter with Lance Broadway (0-1, 2.08), who is making his first career start. The 24-year-old righthander has made three relief appearances this year, the last coming on September 11. He has given up one run in 4 1/3 innings pitched.

Chicago is currently 12-11 in September as it tracks its first winning month since going 12-11 in April. Kansas City has lost three of their past four games.
