White Sox eye fifth straight win

Jun 7, 2008 - 1:10 PM Minnesota (31-30) at Chicago White Sox (34-26) 7:05 p.m. EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Chicago White Sox go for their fifth straight victory on Saturday when they continue a four-game series against the Minnesota Twins.

The White Sox have built a 3 1/2 game lead over the Twins in the American League Central Division on the strength of an 18-9 record since May 8.

Chicago's surge is the product of its red-hot offense, which has scored 31 runs over the first four contests of its current seven-game homestand.

The White Sox pounded out 16 hits, including four home runs, claiming a 10-6 victory during the series opener on Friday.

Mark Buehrle (2-6, 5.20 ERA) hopes Chicago's hit parade continues when he takes the mound on Saturday.

The 29-year-old lefthander has won just once in his last seven starts, despite allowing three runs or more just three times over that span.

Livan Hernandez (6-2, 4.81) counters for Minnesota after earning three straight no decisions in as many starts.
