Hochevar aims to end three-game slide

Jun 4, 2008 - 2:47 PM Kansas City (23-35) at Chicago White Sox (31-26) 8:11 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Luke Hochevar will try to end his personal three-game slide when the Kansas City Royals visit the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old Hochevar (3-5, 4.98 ERA) has struggled in his previous three outings, allowing 17 runs in 17 1/3 innings. He also is just 1-3 on the road this season.

The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2006, Hochevar is making his first career start against the White Sox, who failed to register a run in 3 1/3 frames off the righthander last September 17.

Chicago's John Danks (4-4, 2.86) takes the hill Wednesday after limiting the Tampa Bay Rays to just one run over six innings of a 5-1 victory last week.

Danks also was outstanding in his lone career start against the Royals, yielding one run and four hits through eight frames on June 30.

Carlos Quentin led a four-homer assault with a two-run shot in the first inning Tuesday, sending Chicago to an easy 9-5 triumph over Kansas City.
