Los Angeles Dodgers vs Chicago White Sox
8:10 PM ET, May 20, 2011
U.S. Cellular Field, Chicago, Illinois
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly has made clear he won't be endorsing interleague play any time soon.
The Chicago White Sox, meanwhile, are likely looking forward to it.
The teams open a three-game series Friday night in Chicago as the White Sox look to keep rolling against the struggling Dodgers.
Chicago went a major league-best 15-3 in interleague games last season while Los Angeles struggled to a 4-11 mark. The Dodgers have lost five of six meetings in Chicago and nine of 12 overall.
"We're set up to play a certain way and we go to an American League park and we're not set up the way they are," Mattingly told the team's official website. "We're not a big power club and that puts us behind the eight ball. They sit there with a DH every day and it's a 25- or 30-homer guy. Our extra guys are versatile guys, utility guys. We set up our roster completely different."
