White Sox, A's counting on key players to heat up

Two young sluggers who hope one mighty swing of the bat can help them to change course will go head-to-head Friday night when Andrew Vaughn and the Chicago White Sox visit Brent Rooker and the host Oakland Athletics.

The White Sox will be riding a two-game winning streak into the opener of a three-game series, while the A's are saddled by a two-game skid. The clubs are meeting for the first of seven times this season.
