Left-handers Hector Santiago and John Danks could dictate the makeup of the White Sox pitching staff when they return to Chicago next week if their performances Saturday go as hoped.

C.J. Wilson had a familiar feeling as he matched up against Chris Sale. The Angels lefty recalled when he used to pitch against his current teammate, Jered Weaver.
