White Sox, O's close set in Baltimore

Baseball Betting Lines

08/27/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Right-hander Radhames Liz makes his second start since returning from a stint in the minors tonight when the Baltimore Orioles entertain the visiting Chicago White Sox in the finale of a three-game series at Camden Yards.

Liz, a 25-year-old who was signed as an undrafted free agent and reached the majors last season, made 10 starts in 2008 before being sent to Triple-A Norfolk following a July 26 loss to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, who touched him for seven hits and six runs in 5 2/3 innings of their 11-6 win.

He returned to the big-league fold on Aug. 22 and got a no-decision after allowing nine hits and three runs in just 4 2/3 innings of the Orioles' 9-4 loss to the New York Yankees in Baltimore.

The 6-foot-2, 186-pounder was 3-0 on the year after a 7-5 defeat of the Kansas City Royals on July 1, but has since gone 1-3 in five starts while surrendering 34 hits and 24 earned runs in 22 innings.

He has never faced the White Sox.

For Chicago, lefty John Danks looks to add to another double-digit victory in just his second big-league season.

The 23-year-old, a first-round pick of the Texas Rangers in 2003, who was 6-13 in a 26-start stint with the White Sox last season, surpassed that win total with a 9-7 defeat of the Rangers on July 12 in Arlington.

He won five of six decisions over a six-week stretch to reach 10-5 on the year, before having that momentum briefly stopped by a 9-4 loss to Tampa Bay in his last start on Aug. 22, in which he allowed seven hits and three runs in 6 1/3 innings.

Danks has faced Baltimore twice in 52 major-league starts, going 1-1 with a 4.97 earned run average in 12 2/3 innings.

On Tuesday, Orlando Cabrera went 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles, a triple, two RBI and three runs scored as the White Sox downed the Orioles, 8-3.

Carlos Quentin went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, one RBI and one run scored, while Nick Swisher hit a two-run home run for the White Sox, who have won three straight.

Gavin Floyd (14-6) got the win as he gave up just two runs on four hits with a walk and four strikeouts in eight innings of work for Chicago, which moved two games ahead of Minnesota for first place in the AL Central. Minnesota lost to Seattle, 3-2, on Tuesday.

Luke Scott drove in a pair of runs while Brian Burres (7-8), who was recalled from Norfolk before the game, gave up six runs -- five earned -- on 10 hits in five innings of work for the Orioles, who have dropped five straight and seven of eight.

Chicago has won five of its eight matchups with the O's this season.
