White Sox seeking 10th straight home win

Jun 14, 2008 - 1:05 PM Colorado (26-41) at Chicago White Sox (38-29) 7:05 p.m. EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- A return home was all the Chicago White Sox needed to get back on track.

The White Sox go for their 10th straight win at U.S. Cellular Field on Saturday when they continue a three-game interleague series against the Colorado Rockies.

After suffering a three-game series sweep on the road at the hands of the Detroit Tigers, the White Sox returned home on Friday and posted a 5-4 victory over the Rockies in the series opener.

Owners of a 20-9 home record this season, Chicago hasn't won 10 consecutive home games since the 2006 campaign, but appears to have a good shot at reaching that mark against a Colorado team which has won just two of its last 17 road contests.

John Danks (4-4, 3.13 ERA) tries to keep the Rockies at bay when he toes the rubber for the White Sox.

Danks has taken two straight no decisions, surrendering six earned runs in 11 2/3 innings over that span. However, Chicago has won four of the last five games that the 23-year-old lefthander has started.

Jorge De La Rosa (1-3, 8.13) returns to the Rockies rotation after a trio of relief appearances.
