<h3>Buehrle hopes to put historic sweep behind White Sox</h3>



<div class="pre">Minnesota (45-41) at Chi White Sox (37-47) 3:55 pm EDT</div>

CHICAGO (Ticker) - If the Chicago White Sox continue to strugglethis much, ace Mark Buehrle may be out of town sooner ratherthan later.

Buehrle (5-6, 3.26 ERA) takes the hill on Saturday as he looksto help the White Sox erase the memory of the worst doubleheadersweep in 68 years.

In his last start Buehrle allowed four runs - two earned - and<div class="pre">nine hits in 7 2/3 innings, but received a no-decision when the</div>bullpen let a four-run lead slip away against Baltimore lastSaturday.

A free-agent after this season, rumors continue to swirl abouthis future with Chicago and Buehrle even playfully cleaned outhis locker insinuating a trade had been struck before Friday'sgame.

But the White Sox play of late is the only thing that iscomical.

On Friday they were outscored 32-14 by the Twins in a day-nightdoubleheader. It was the most combined runs allowed since 1939when the Boston Red Sox scored 35 runs in a sweep thePhiladelphia Athletics.

Reigning American League MVP Justin Morneau had three homers inthe nightcap and nine RBI on the day for Minnesota which has wonseven of eight against divisional foes.

Boof Bonser (5-5, 4.76) takes the hill as the Twins try andcarry over the momentum from Friday's sweep. Bonser is winlessin his last four starts after allowing four runs and nine hitsin 5 1/3 innings against New York last Saturday.
