Starting Pitchers

Brad Keller (2-4, 7.31 ERA) vs. Lucas Giolito (2-3, 4.54 ERA)

• The White Sox have recalled Alex McRae to serve as the 27th man on the roster in today’s doubleheader.
• Lucas Giolito will look to improve upon his last outing against Kansas City, where he only struck out two hitters in five innings. He faces a Royals team that he has fared very well against in his career.
