Buehrle seeks to follow Floyd's gem

May 7, 2008 - 12:53 PM Minnesota (16-15) at Chi White Sox (15-16) 8:11 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) - Gavin Floyd tried to follow Mark Buehrle into Chicago White Sox lore on Tuesday.

Now Buehrle aims to follow up Floyd's gem with a solid start as the White Sox aim for a second straight win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old Floyd held the Twins hitless for 8 1/3 innings in a 7-1 victory on Tuesday before Joe Mauer broke up the no-hit bid with a double in the ninth.

Floyd was looking to join Buehrle (1-4, 4.42 ERA) in the franchise record book. Buehrle threw the 16th no-hitter in franchise history last April 18 against the Texas Rangers.

However, things have not gone as smooth for the lefthander this season. Buehrle has lost three straight decisions. The staff ace is hoping a matchup with the Twins will cure his woes - he is 7-1 with a 2.50 ERA in his last eight starts vs. them.

The White Sox, who have not won two straight since April 26-27, will take their swings against Livan Hernandez. Hernandez (4-1, 4.43) allowed one run and eight hits in seven innings of an 11-1 victory over Detroit on Friday.

Hernandez will look to get the Twins back on track after their five-game winning streak was snapped.
