A.J. Pierzynski fired up his team and led them to a bid divisional win against the struggling Detroit Tigers.  Pierzynski abused the Detroit pitching staff going three for five, including a 2-run home run and two doubles.  Not to mention he batted in five runs and scoring twice himself.  The Sox ripped off thirteen hits and got big hits when they really counted.  Jose Contreras started against Nate Robertson for the Tigers.  Contreras went five innings and gave up ten hits and four earned runs.  Despite the high amount of hits he gave up, Contreras did his part to keep the Sox in a position to win the game.  The offense really came through and had good production out of a number of players.  Consistent performances like this could really help the Sox chances of doing some damage in the AL central.  Tomorrow is the second game of the three game series at Detroit.
