The 1st place Chicago White Sox came into Detroit today for a big 4 game series against my 2nd place Detroit Tigers. Jose Contreras pitched a complete game 5-hitter and the Sox came away with an easy 5-1 victory in tonight's game. Alex Cintron drove in 2 runs with a single in the 2nd inning and Detroit was never able to come back from that deficit. Chicago now leads the AL Central by 1.5 games over Detroit and the Minnesota Twins are just 2.5 games back. The Tigers are now 5-15 in August as their downward spiral continues.
