| (MySportsbook) - After regaining the top spot in the American League Central on Tuesday, the Chicago White Sox hope to stay there following tonight's clash with the Kansas City Royals at U.S. Cellular Field. Chicago moved a half-game in front of Minnesota for first place after handing Kansas City a 9-0 loss in Tuesday's opener of this three-game set. The Twins suffered an extra-inning setback to the New York Yankees last night. Javier Vazquez (9-10) led the way for the White Sox, with the veteran pitcher twirl |

| (MySportsbook) - A rough two-week stretch has resulted in the Chicago White Sox falling out of first place in the American League Central. The Kansas City Royals have contributed to that slide. The White Sox will attempt to avenge a series loss to the Royals earlier this month when the two divisional foes begin a three-game series tonight at U.S. Cellular Field. Chicago has lost nine of its last 15 games and fell out of the Central's top spot following Monday's 5-1 setback at home to Boston. The White Sox now |

| Chicago, IL (MySportsbook) - The Chicago White Sox acquired pitcher Horacio Ramirez from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for minor-league outfielder Paulo Orlando late Saturday night. The trade came after the Sox learned pitcher Jose Contreras ruptured his left Achilles' tendon, forcing the right-hander to the disabled list. Ramirez worked primarily as a starter in his first six seasons in the big leagues, but threw exclusively out of the bullpen for the Royals this season, going 1-1 with a 2.59 earned-run |

Liriano emerged onto the scene in 2006, going 12-3 with a 2.16 earned run average. However, he missed all of 2007 after undergoing Tommy John surgery and struggled in his return to the majors earlier this year, posting an 0-3 ma |
