White Sox Vs. Twins Preview: Francisco Liriano Makes Chicago Debut Against Former Team

All eyes will be on Francisco Liriano when the right-handed pticher makes his debut for the Chicago White Sox against the only team the 28-year old had ever known before Saturday's trade: the Minnesota Twins. Liriano pitched in part sof seven seasons during his injury-plagued time in Minnesota, earning a trip to the All-Star Game in 2006 and the AL Comeback Player of the Year award in 2010. Chicago will be looking for a steady performance after dropping its last two games following a five-game winning streak.

Liriano was 3-10 this season with a 5.31 ERA for the Twins. He'll be opposed by Nick Blackburn, who's 4-6 this season with a 7.99 ERA.

Game Date & Time: Tuesday, July 31, 7:10 p.m. CT

TV: Comcast SportsNet
