White Sox begin eight-game homestand

Apr 7, 2008 - 1:22 PM Minnesota (3-4) at Chi White Sox (4-2) 4:05 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) - After spending their first six games away from the Windy City, the Chicago White Sox finally get to play in front of their own crowd.

The White Sox begin an eight-game homestand when they face the Minnesota Twins on Monday.

Carlos Quentin had four RBI and Joe Crede plated three runs for Chicago in Sunday's 13-2 rout of the Detroit Tigers in the finale of a three-game series sweep.

Javier Vazquez (0-1, 7.20 ERA) goes to the mound for the White Sox, who went 4-2 on their season-opening road trip. The righthander lost his first outing of the season, allowing four runs in five innings of a 7-2 setback to Cleveland.

Vazquez is 4-5 lifetime against Minnesota.

Nick Blackburn (0-1, 1.29) counters for the Twins. The righthander was solid in his first major league start, allowing just one run in seven frames in a 1-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

The 6-4 Blackburn will be making his first start against the White Sox. Last season, he threw two scoreless innings of relief against Chicago in the Metrodome.
