* The Indians have hit at least one home run in 20 of their last 22 games against the White Sox. Grady Sizemore himself hit one homer in each of three games in the opening series between the clubs this season.
* The White Sox have received 44.3% of their runs off of home runs since 2003, the highest percentage in the majors.
* Cleveland has had a tumultuous season thus far, with the weather forcing postponements and relocation. However, one bright spot is the bullpen—a liability last season—is now anchored by Joe Borowski with three saves in six games.
* Jim Thome is hitting just .206 (14/68) in 20 career games against the Indians.
* Fausto Carmona has lost 10 straight decisions since winning his major-league debut against the Tigers on April 15, 2006 at Detroit.
* Grady Sizemore is showcasing all his hitting ability thus far. He has shown patience (six walks), contact (.364 avg, just three Ks), and power (four HRs) already this season.
* After allowing 20 runs in their first two games, the White Sox pitching staff has settled down and allowed just 12 runs in their last six games.
