Contreras Fantastic as White Sox Beat Orioles in Opener 3-1 (Game 14, '08)

Six strikeouts and no walks for Contreras.  Lights out from the bullpen.  Six saves for Bobby Jenks in as many tries. Fantastic. Besides Crede throwing the ball away, the White Sox defense has been excellent behind their pitchers.  Contreras looked like he was very much in control with his breaking pitches.  I am hoping this is something we will see on a consistent basis because the White Sox will need him to be good if they want to contend in '08.  If the White Sox can get this kind of pitching for most of the year, I believe they can and will win the division.  There is still a very long ways to go, but it is good to see the White Sox already earn their ninth win of the season.
