While the Chicago White Sox have cut six games off their deficit in the AL Central in the last two weeks, it’s been more than a month since Gavin Floyd got to enjoy a victory. On Thursday, Floyd will try to snap a five-game losing streak as he takes the mound for the White Sox, who look to complete a sweep of the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves and get their ninth straight victory. Chicago was 9 1/2 games out of first place on June 8, but it has won eight straight and 12 of 13 to move within 3 1/2 games of the division-leading Twins. It trails the second-place Tigers by two games. Mark Buehrle provided the White Sox a seventh straight quality start, giving up two runs in six innings while escaping several jams. Chicago’s starters have a 2.21 ERA during the 13-game surge, winning 11. Floyd is the lone starter who hasn’t picked up a win during this stretch. He is winless since limiting Florida to one run in 6 1-3 innings of a 4-1 victory May 22.

He has a 1.43 ERA in his last three starts, but the White Sox have scored only three runs in those games. Floyd is 0-3 with a 3.41 ERA in his previous five outings and yielded one run and four hits in eight innings against Washington Friday in a 2-1, 11-inning victory. Carlos Quentin will try to help provide more support. He homered twice Wednesday and has three the last two games. Floyd is 1-1 with a 9.95 ERA in four starts and one relief appearance against the Braves. However, he is facing them for the first time since 2006. The right-hander will look to help the White Sox win nine in a row for the first time since June 15-24, 2006. Having lost a series for the first time since dropping two of three at Philadelphia from May 7-9, the Braves will attempt to avoid the sweep. They came in having won five straight, but their lead over the Mets in the NL East is down to one-half game. Melky Cabrera went 3 for 4 on Wednesday, but Atlanta grounded into two double plays and stranded seven.
