* The White Sox were just 4-14 in interleague play last season, and have a current five-game losing streak against N.L. clubs.
* The Giants have scored just 14 first-inning runs this season, 2nd fewest among N.L. teams (Pirates – 8).
* A.J. Pierzynski is tied for 2nd in the A.L. with 14 doubles on the season. Five of his last eight hits have been doubles.

* Righthanded batters are hitting just .169 against Gavin Floyd this season, 5th lowest versus A.L. pitchers.
* Aaron Rowand has faced his former club once before, in 2007. He went 1-for-8 with five runs batted in during the three-game series, the one hit being a grand slam off of Matt Thornton.
