Jose Abreu is in the midst of a tear and looks to record his fourth consecutive stellar performance when the Chicago White Sox visit the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game set. Abreu recorded four hits and two RBIs as the White Sox rolled to an 11-3 victory in the series opener and is 10-for-13 with three homers and eight RBIs over his last three games.
Abreu fell a homer short of the cycle just two days after hitting for one against San Francisco. The 30-year-old Cuban has been a bright spot in a dismal year for Chicago as he has belted 31 homers and stands eight RBIs shy of his fourth consecutive season with 100 or more. Kansas City suffered a huge blow with the defeat as it dropped three games behind Minnesota for the American League’s second wild-card berth. Eric Hosmer recorded his ninth consecutive hit on Monday before being retired and falling one short of matching the franchise record.
Covey is making his ninth start of the season but first since losing to Arizona on May 23. He injured an oblique muscle and departed after 2 1/3 innings in that contest, missing nearly three months. The 26-year-old Covey, who still is looking for his first major-league victory, is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in two turns against Kansas City this season.
Gaviglio is making his second start since joining the Royals and settled for a no-decision in the first after allowing one run and four hits over five innings against Minnesota. The 27-year-old went 3-5 with a 4.62 ERA in 12 appearances (11 starts) for Seattle this season before being claimed off waivers earlier this month. Gaviglio made his first major-league start against the White Sox on May 18, when he gave up just three hits in five scoreless frames of a no-decision.
WALK-OFFS
1. The White Sox have outscored opponents 32-5 during their three-game winning streak.
