Fri May 09 00:10:00 UTC 2025: ## White Sox Aim to Avoid Sweep in Kansas City Finale
**Kansas City, MO** – Facing elimination in their four-game series against the Kansas City Royals, the Chicago White Sox will send Davis Martin to the mound for today’s 1:10 p.m. Central time game. The Sox, who have managed only four runs in the first three games, will use essentially the same lineup hoping for a better offensive performance.
Martin, boasting a 3.52 ERA this season, will be challenged by Royals lefty Kris Bubic (1.98 ERA). While both pitchers struggled in recent outings against the Houston Astros, Bubic showed a bounce-back performance with a five-inning shutout against Baltimore. Despite Bubic’s impressive ERA, both left-handed and right-handed batters are hitting only .215 against him, presenting a mixed challenge for the predominantly right-handed Sox lineup.
Adding to the White Sox’s challenge, Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. is expected to play. The game promises pleasant weather, partly cloudy skies, and temperatures in the low 70s. The game will be broadcast on the usual channels.
