Twins, White Sox meet in key AL Central clash

Sep 23, 2008 - 1:38 PM Chi White Sox (86-69) at Minnesota (84-72), 8:10 p.m. EDT

MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- With the American League Central still up for grabs, the Minnesota Twins host the Chicago White Sox in the first of a three-game set Tuesday.

The Twins trail the White Sox by 2 1/2 games in the division and have won five of the six meetings between the teams at the Metrodome this season.

Neither team comes into the series on a roll. Chicago is 6-8 in its last 14 games, while Minnesota has dropped six of its last eight.

Twins righthander Scott Baker (9-4, 3.69 ERA) looks to bounce back from a rough outing in his last start. Baker allowed four runs over 4 2/3 innings against Cleveland last Wednesday.

Chicago will counter with Javier Vazquez (12-14, 4.32), who has lost four of his last six starts.

The righthander endured his shortest outing of the season Thursday, allowing seven runs - six earned - in 3 2/3 innings against the New York Yankees.
