April 17, 200322 yr The last game of the series and the pitchers are: White Sox: Esteban Loazia- 2-0, 1.23 ERA Royals: Chris George- 2-0, 2.25 ERA Loazia is 2-3 7.98 ERA lifetime against the rival Royals and George is 0-2 with a lifetime 10.80 ERA against the Pale Hose. Weather: The brief run of early summer weather has apparently come to a momentary close. Thursday's forecast is for 48 degrees and rain. Aaron Rowand was out of the starting lineup for the past three games, giving way to the hot hitting left-handed bat of Armando Rios. Rowand is the better defensive center fielder, but he needs to improve his .188 batting average with one RBI to stay as a regular in the lineup. Magglio Ordonez extended his hitting to 12 games with a RBI double in the fourth inning. It was the first hit off of Royals starter Runelvys Hernandez. The White Sox entered Wednesday's game hitting .220 with a 6.38 earned run average in four games against the Royals. They had been outscored 28-15. Michael Tucker stole the first base this season against White Sox catcher Miguel Olivo. But, Tucker stole the base more on starting pitcher Jon Garland, who allowed Tucker to get half way to second before throwing the pitch. Frank Thomas has now reached base in all 14 games, walking in the fourth inning. Brian Daubach is hitless in last 11 at-bats.
