White Sox Vs. Twins Lineups: Chicago Aims To Keep Hendriks Winless

The Chicago White Sox (38-35), holding on to a tenuous 0.5 game lead in the AL Central division, will square up against RHP Liam Hendriks and the last-place Minnesota Twins (30-42).

Hendriks is still searching for his first major league win, and understandably so. The 23-year-old rookie has a 7.39 ERA and 6.77 FIP through his 6 starts in the 2012 season. He has struggled primarily with the home run ball, despite showing otherwise strong command and walking very few batters.

UPDATE: A.J. Pierzynski has been replaced in the lineup by Tyler Flowers.
