Sox 4, Detroit 3
Again, a win is a win. The Sox got their best start of the season from Jose Contreras, who gave up just six hits and one run over eight innings while walking just one and striking out only one. He really only made two mistakes, a pitch to Guillen that went for a triple in the right-center gap, and a gopher ball to Craig Monroe.
Jenks' two-run ninth was troubling. He seemed to have very little control of his fastball - although a heavy rain was falling - and he seemed bothered after giving up a leadoff
Offensively, it's just another day, another home run from Jim Thome. He's been ridiculous this season, putting up a positive 8.84 ERV in 8 games, with a positive in each game. Still only two strikeouts for Jim. He's seeing the ball well.
Brian Anderson needs a clue at the plate. I mean they walked Juan Uribe with two outs to get to Anderson. That's a statement.

[Note: Podsednik's -.14 baserunning is for trying to go from 2nd to 3rd on Iguchi's grounder to short in the first. Bad times. That gaffe cost Pods a positive ERV game].
