The Chicago White Sox Try To Win a Series Against the Streaking Seattle Mariners

This series will feature two teams headed in opposite directions as the White Sox tangle with the Mariners.

Felix Hernandez has overpowered the Chicago White Sox at home lately, a bad sign for a team that continues to struggle offensively. Seeking a third straight winning decision, Hernandez takes the mound for the Seattle Mariners looking to extend his scoreless innings streak against Chicago at Safeco Field as the teams open a three-game set Friday night.

After going 1-2 with a 4.33 ERA in his first four starts this season, Hernandez (3-2, 3.21) has thrived in his three most recent outings, going 2-0 with a 1.74 ERA and striking out 22 in 20 2-3 innings.

The hard-throwing right-hander allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings and struck out a season-best 10 but didn’t factor in the decision of his most recent appearance, a 3-2 loss at Boston on Sunday.

Last year’s AL Cy Young winner has limited the White Sox (11-21) to eight hits over 15 scoreless innings in his last two starts in the series at home, striking out 18 over that span.

Manager Ozzie Guillen’s club, which has averaged just 2.5 runs en route to losing 17 of 21 overall, has been slumping even worse on the road. The White Sox have scored 2.1 runs per game during a 3-8 stretch away from home and likely aren’t looking forward to facing Hernandez.

After failing to record a hit in Tuesday’s 1-0 loss to Minnesota, the last-place White Sox fell 3-2 on Wednesday. They sit 11 games behind AL Central-leading Cleveland. Chicago has a chance to do that starting with this series, as it has taken four straight and nine of 10 from Seattle - including a home win over Hernandez.

The White Sox, who held the Mariners (15-17) to a total of a three runs while taking two of three at Safeco last season, turn to Phil Humber (2-3, 3.06) on Friday.

Humber has surrendered just four hits and compiled a 1.29 ERA during his last two outings spanning 14 innings. The right-hander gave up two runs and three hits in seven innings of Saturday’s 6-2 loss to Baltimore. The White Sox stun Seattle and get a win in game one.
