I like this little winning streak the White Sox have put together.  And today’s come back win was pretty impressive.  Jose Contreras was tagged for four runs in the first and it started to look like a repeat of opening day.  Then the White Sox chipped away at the lead and by the fifth inning, the game was tied.  Then Contreras gave up the lead again and Joe Crede came up huge with an RBI single in the eighth to tie it and then in extra frames, Jermaine Dye drove in the game winner on an RBI double and he later scored for a touch of insurance.

Both Dye and Crede finished the game with two RBIs.  Pablo Ozuna also had a nice game at the plate and he finished with two hits and two runs.

David Aardsma got the final Tiger out in the ninth and he picked up the win.  Bobby Jenks threw a perfect tenth and he picked up the save.  Contreras lasted seven innings, but he gave up all five of the runs in the 7-5 loss.

Jon Garland will throw tomorrow as the White Sox go for the sweep.  He’ll lock horns with last year’s ROY, Justin Verlander.  Should be a good one.
