Chicago visits Kansas City with a playoff berth within reach: a White Sox win and a Texas Rangers loss would clinch it. The Sox are also one game behind Cleveland in the AL Central; Bryan Hudson is set to open before Erick Fedde handles most of the innings.
Chicago is coming off a 14-11 victory Tuesday, though Trevor Richards and Luis Castillo gave up seven runs in two innings. Hudson has a 2.79 ERA over 9⅔ innings as an opener; Fedde is 2-2 with a 2.56 ERA over his last seven outings. Royals starter Seth Lugo has a 5.06 season ERA and a 7.60 ERA across his last seven starts.
First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. CDT at Kauffman Stadium, with TV coverage on CHSN and radio on ESPN 1000.
