CHICAGO -- The postseason might be just about out of reach, but the Chicago White Sox believe they could still be pretty effective spoilers.Chicago (68-73) hopes to further torpedo the Kansas City Royals playoff hopes as it sends left-handed ace Chris Sale (15-7, 3.07 ERA) against Royals right-hander Ian Kennedy (10-9, 3.76) in Sundays series finale.I havent been the spoiler too often in my career, said White Sox right-hander James Shields, who had no decision in Saturdays 6-5 Chicago loss to the Royals.We want to finish strong as a team, in general. We want to be that team that finishes strong and has a good thought process going into the offseason, no matter what happens down the road here. But were going to try and win the series tomorrow.The defending World Series champions (73-68) are nine games behind Cleveland in the American League Central and four games out of the second AL wild-card spot with 21 games to play.The White Sox beat the Royals 7-2 on Friday as right-hander Carlos Rodon extended his winning streak to five games after allowing two runs (one earned) and six hits with a season-high nine strikeouts in six innings.The best the White Sox can shoot for is a .500 or better record in the seasons final three weeks. And thats achievable for a team that had won three straight entering Saturday and is 5-3 in its last eight.The Royals, meanwhile, are now 4-6 in their last 10 games and 8-8 in their last 16 and have gone 15-7 in the last 22 games vs. the AL Central.Sale makes his 28th start of the season and 13th at home. He picked up the win in his lone start of the season against the Royals on June 10 -- a 7-5 decision. Sale is 5-4 with a 2.88 ERA and 65 strikeouts in 15 career games (10 starts) against Kansas City.Hes coming off a no-decision in his last start on Sept. 5 against the Detroit Tigers, allowing two runs and six hit with no walks and eight strikeouts in six innings.But individual accolades mean little to Sale, whod rather be competing for the postseason than playing out the string.Its hard to look at stuff like that when youre going through what weve been going through, Sale recently told reporters. I dont really look too far into personal stats. If somebodys got really bad stats on a winning team, Ill trade it with him.Off again/on-again Royals right fielder Lorenzo Cain was out of the lineup on Saturday and one report suggested he could be finished for the season.Cain, suffering from a left wrist injury, played in his first game since Aug. 30 on Friday, going 1-for-3. He was hitting .287 with nine home runs and 56 RBI in 103 games this year. Cain also missed much of July with a hamstring injury.Royals manager Ned Yost said hed like to have the valuable veteran in the lineup as much as possibleEvery day that he can be, Yost said. (The wrist) is going to bother him a little bit, but he still finds away to produce through all that.Carlos Tevez Argentina Jersey . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged.
