Recap | Boxscore

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- Esteban Loaiza can notch his 21st victory of the season for the Chicago White Sox on Sunday afternoon when they complete a four-game series with the Kansas City Royals.

Loaiza (20-9, 2.96 ERA) is pitching on three days' rest since Mark Buehrle gave up his scheduled start. Loaiza is trying to boost his Cy Young Award credentials and match Fernando Valenzuela's win total in 1986 for the most wins by a Mexican pitcher.

In his last start, Loaiza recorded his 20th victory in a 9-4 victory on Wednesday over the New York Yankees by allowing three runs and five hits in six innings. Loaiza is 2-1 with a 3.24 ERA in four starts against the Royals this season.

Chicago clinched second place in the American League Central Division with Saturday's 19-3 victory. Joe Crede and Carl Everett each drove in four runs and starter Bartolo Colon notched his 100th career victory with his ninth complete game. The White Sox built an 8-0 lead after three innings.

Kansas City's Carlos Beltran left the game with a sore left knee. Beltran is batting .308 with 26 homers and 100 RBI this year.

The Royals' Jose Lima (8-2, 4.61) makes his final start of his surprising season. He began this season with the Newark Bears of the independent Atlantic League before signing a minor league contract with Kansas City in June.

Lima was pounded for season highs of seven runs and 10 hits in his last start against Detroit on Tuesday in a 15-6 setback. The colorful righthander is 2-4 lifetime with an 8.80 ERA against the White Sox, who he has not faced this season.
