Tigers hope to make up ground, host White Sox

Jul 25, 2008 - 10:11 AM Chi White Sox (57-43) at Detroit (52-49) 7:05 p.m. EDT

DETROIT (Ticker) -- The Detroit Tigers shoot for their fifth straight win when they host the Chicago White Sox in a key American League Central matchup on Friday.

The Tigers are coming off a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals. In the series, the Tigers outscored KC, 33-6. The four-game winning streak has lifted the Tigers (52-49) to a season-high three games over .500.

The Tigers are hoping to build on that momentum when they play the White Sox, whom they trail by 5 1/2 games.

Nate Robertson (6-8, 5.69 ERA) will take the mound for the Tigers, looking for his first win in six starts. The lefthander was roughed up in his last outing, surrendering seven runs in 2 1/3 innings while getting a no-decision against Baltimore last Saturday.

The White Sox won the last two games of their three-game series with the Texas Rangers and are kicking off a 10-game road trip - all against divisional opponents.

Looking to snap a personal two-game losing streak, Gavin Floyd (10-6, 3.52) toes the rubber.

The righthander gave up three runs - one earned - over six innings, taking the loss in Chicago's 9-1 setback to the Kansas City Royals last Saturday.
