With their first double-digit winning streak in 34 years in tow, the next task for the Chicago White Sox is going for their first 11-game streak in nearly a half-century. They have a favorable set of circumstances to do it. Freddy Garcia has won five straight starts and is 4-0 in his career against the Chicago Cubs, who have a worn-out bullpen and a clubhouse controversy to worry about as they try to cool off the White Sox on the South Side on Saturday night. The White Sox haven’t lost since June 13 against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, and that 1-0 defeat seemed like a distant memory in Friday afternoon’s series opener. Ozzie Guillen’s club jumped on Carlos Zambrano in the first inning, with Carlos Quentin’s three-run homer highlighting a four-run inning and providing all the offense the White Sox would need in a 6-0 win.
The South Siders have won 10 in a row for the first time since May 18-26, 1976, and Saturday they’ll go for their first 11-game streak since a 12-game run June 17-27, 1961. They’ll have a few factors working in their favor, perhaps none more significant than the recent success of Garcia. The right-hander has an unimpressive 4.42 ERA since May 5, but he’s 8-1 in that stretch behind an average of 7.07 runs of support. Garcia delivered his fourth quality start during his five-game winning streak Sunday at Washington, allowing three runs over seven innings in a 6-3 win at Washington. The two-time All-Star hasn’t faced the Cubs since 2007, but he’s 4-0 with a 1.25 ERA in five career starts versus the North Siders - including 3-0 with a 0.41 ERA while wearing a White Sox uniform. The Cubs turn to their most effective starter in an effort to avoid a seventh loss in eight games to their crosstown rivals, and they’ll desperately need Carlos Silva to take them deep in the game.
