The South Siders are 9-4 in their last 13 games

The Chicago White Sox are riding a wave of momentum, and it's a great time to be a South Sider. Winners of four straight games and three of their last four series, the Good Guys are looking to push both streaks to five and four, respectively, as they take on the San Diego Padres tonight. With a 9-4 record in their last 13 outings, this team is finding its stride—and it's making for some exciting baseball.

Taking the mound for the White Sox is Sean Burke, who's coming off his first career road win on April 22 against Arizona. Burke has been sharp lately, keeping walks to a minimum and avoiding hard contact—a key formula against a Padres lineup that ranks among the best in the league. He'll need to bring his A-game to keep the momentum going.

On the other side, San Diego counters with ace Michael King, who will look to cool off Chicago's hot bats. While Burke relies on his fastball, King does his damage with breaking and off-speed pitches. The White Sox hitters will be looking to make him leave a few pitches over the plate—and if they can, this could be another big night for the offense.

There are some lineup changes to note for Chicago. Jarred Kelenic gets his first start in a White Sox uniform, adding some fresh energy to the outfield, while Edgar Quero takes over behind the plate for tonight's game. The Padres are mixing things up too, with old friend Gavin Sheets, Jackson Merrill, Luis Campusano, and Jake Cronenworth all in the starting nine.

One more bonus for fans: the game starts an hour earlier than usual, at 7:40 p.m. CT. You can catch all the action on CHSN for viewing or tune into WMVP-AM 1000 for the radio call. Whether you're watching from home or listening on the go, this is a game you won't want to miss—especially with the White Sox playing some of their best ball of the season.
