Lefthanders are batting .129 against him. ... 1B Jose Abreu went 3-for-3 Thursday to extend his hitting streak to 20 games (and 38 of his last 39), the longest by a White Sox player since 2004. Abreu also had an 18-game streak in June, making him the second Sox player (Hall of Famer Eddie Collins in 1920 is the other) to have two such streaks in a season.
