Phil Hughes has confirmed that he will pitch on Saturday and matchup against Gil Meche of the Royals.
Moose hasn't been great in his career against the ChiSox (15-16, 4.63 in 36 starts). Jose Contreras is having an Igawa-like season, but has pitched into some bad luck against the Yanks (2-3, 2.50 in 5 starts).
