Third to first

• Over Chris Sale's last six starts, opponents are 16-for-131 (.122) against the southpaw, with left-handers going 2-for-20. Both of those hits came from Josh Hamilton in the same game. Sale has struck out 485 batters through his first 68 career starts, which according to the Elias Sports Bureau is the most in White Sox history and third most among active pitchers behind Yu Darvish (552) and Tim Lincecum (502).

• Reliever Scott Downs needs five appearances to reach 600 for his career.

• Adam Dunn has reached base safely in 47 of 57 games this season, with nine multihit efforts and 10 multi-walk performances.
