O's, White Sox finish what they started

It's a game four months in the making, an epic struggle that lasted so long it switched stadiums. The Orioles and White Sox will conclude a suspended game on Monday that they started on April 28 -- and that's before they play their regularly scheduled game.

When April 28's game against the White Sox was suspended because of rainy conditions, George Sherrill had just blown his first save of the season in the 11th inning. Sherrill's now on the disabled list, and the Orioles are set to try to claim victory before Monday's regularly scheduled game. Lance Cormier will take the hill for the Orioles to begin the 12th.
The White Sox will be playing a little makeup on Monday before kicking off their three-game series against the Orioles. Chicago and Baltimore will complete its April 28 suspended game that was rained out in the 11th with the score tied, 3-3.
