Jose Contreras returned to the White Sox on Monday night and pitched eight strong innings against the Tigers. Contreras started 0-5 this year, and was sent to Triple-A to work on his pitches. "I needed to work on my pitches. I needed to work on my location and the only place to do it was Triple-A. I decided to go down to Triple-A and work on stuff," Contreras said. "Obviously I came back and used it today and it paid off with a great outing." Contreras pitched eight shutout innings, allowing just one hit and recording three strikeouts. "Getting a win after having five losses, I feel like I contributed, like I am giving something back to the team," Contreras said.
