KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- One day after reaching amilestone, Jim Thome will try to help the Chicago White Sox outof last place in the American League Central Division.

Thome and the White Sox hope to carry some momentum from anemotional win Monday when they start a four-game series withthe Kansas City Royals in a matchup between the two worst teamsin the AL Central.


Thome became the 23rd player in major league history to reach500 career home runs Sunday, belting a two-run game-winninghomer in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the White Sox toa 9-7 triumph over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

With a win on Monday, the White Sox will climb out of last placein the division for the first time since August 24.

The White Sox will call on Javier Vazquez (12-8, 3.90 ERA), whois looking to win a second straight start after a 7-4 win overthe Indians on Wednesday. He yielded two runs - one earned -and six hits with nine strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings of thatcontest.


The righthanded Vazquez is 5-2 against the Royals with a 2.80ERA in nine career starts, including a win in his last outingagainst them August 21.


Kansas City will counter with Kyle Davies (2-5, 5.65), who willface Chicago for the first time in his career.
