Kinsler aims for 25-game hitting streak vs. White Sox
Jul 13, 2008 - 2:33 PM Chi White Sox (54-39) at Texas (49-46) 3:05 pm EDTARLINGTON, Texas (Ticker) -- All-Star Ian Kinsler is hoping to extend his hitting streak to 25 games when the Texas Rangers host the Chicago White Sox on Sunday in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Kinsler delivered an RBI double in the eighth inning of Saturday's 9-7 loss to the White Sox to extend his hitting streak to 24 games, the longest run in the major leagues this season.
The 26-year-old Kinsler, who leads the majors with a .333 batting average, has 14 home runs and 55 RBI this season. All-Star Josh Hamilton also has an impressive streak, driving in a run over his previous eight games - including two RBI in each of his last five contests.
Chicago starter Jose Contreras (7-6, 4.21 ERA) will try to slow down Texas' high-powered offense. The Cuban righthander is 3-3 with a 5.14 ERA on the road this season.
Contreras was tagged for five runs and 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings but did not receive a decision during Tuesday's 8-7 triumph over the Kansas City Royals.
The Rangers will counter with Matt Harrison (1-0, 2.57), who is making his second career start. The lefthander pitched seven frames in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, yielding two runs and five hits with a walk and strikeout.
