Andrew Cashner faces Ivan Nova here. These two ptichers just went against each other a week ago and the Orioles slaughtered the White Sox, 9-1.

Cashner held the White Sox to one run on five hits with one walk and five strikeouts in seven innings. Cashner has yielded just nine earned runs in his last five starts. The Orioles have won each of those outings.

The White Sox are 0-5 in Nova's last five stars. It's easy to see why: Nova has an 8.42 ERA on the season and has yet to win. Nova, in fact, has never won when pitching for the White Sox leaving his status as a big league pitcher in a starting rotation much in doubt. The Orioles blasted Nova for nine runs on 11 hits, including four homers, in four innings last week.

Nova has faced the Orioles 19 times in his career - 18 as a starter - and has a 5.51 ERA.

The Orioles are one of the worst teams in the league, but the White Sox are under .500 and far from a powerhouse either being in rebuilding mode.
