Danks on mound for White Sox in second game
Sep 14, 2008 - 12:51 PM Detroit at Chi White Sox (2ND GAME) 8:05 pm EDTCHICAGO (Ticker) - The Chicago White Sox have been waiting all weekend to try and maintain their place atop the American League Central.
After a rain-soaked weekend and several postponements, John Danks takes the mound for the White Sox in the second game of a day-night doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.
The Central leaders were rained out for the third time in a week Saturday when their doubleheader with the Tigers was postponed - the second washout in as many days.
The White Sox are tied with the Minnesota Twins (81-66), and both are 5 1/2 games behind the Boston Red Sox (87-61) in the wild-card hunt.
Danks (10-8, 3.44 ERA) has been an important cog in Chicago's season, but has sputtered in the second half. After posting a 7-4 record with a 2.67 ERA in 19 starts, the 23-year-old lefthander is 3-4 with a 5.04 mark in 10 outings after the All-Star break.
He has lost four of his last five decisions and is coming off a frustrating loss to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Sunday, when he gave up two runs and five hits in 5 1/3 frames.
Kenny Rogers (9-13, 5.49) counters for Detroit with hopes of turning around his recent fortunes. The 43-year-old lefthander has surrendered six runs in each of his last three outings and has dropped seven of his past eight.
Rogers is 0-1 with a 5.25 ERA in two starts against Chicago this season.
The White Sox were also rained out last Monday night before coming back Tuesday and losing a doubleheader to the Toronto Blue Jays.
