Cintron Again?

Alex Cintron had the game winning RBI for the second consecutive game. I wonder what kind of centerfielder Kenny Williams could get for Juan Uribe?

Jose Contreras was his normally dominant self. He mowed down the kitties allowing 3 earned runs over 7 innings of work. Augustin Monterro and Neal Cotts combined to shut down Detroit in the eighth, and Big, Bad, Bobby Jenks picked up his second save in as many nights.

In addition to Cintron, the hitting stars were Smokin' Joe Crede, Big Jim Thome (they tugged on his cape again), and Jermaine Dye. Dye and Thome each hit solo homers at times when the Sox trailed by 1 run. With the game tied, Crede's single put him aboard for Cintron's heroics. It was a good piece of hitting as Smokin' Joe fouled off several pitches until he got something good to hit.

In other news, Jeff Nelson is out for the season and Cliff Politte is on the DL with shoulder soreness. Monterro and Sean Tracy been called up in their places.
