RHP Contreras looking to help struggling White Sox to win

Jun 2, 2007 - 1:52 PM Chi White Sox (25-25) at Toronto (25-29) 1:07 pm EDT

TORONTO (Ticker) -- Jose Contreras will try and help the struggling Chicago White Sox get things headed in the right direction when they face the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.

Contreras (4-5, 4.45 ERA) takes the mound looking to lead Chicago to its second straight win after it snapped a five-game skid with a 3-0 win in Friday's opener.

Like the rest of his teammates, Contreras has struggled recently. He has not won consecutive starts all season and allowed season-highs of seven runs and 10 hits in his last start against Minnesota on Monday.

The righthander is 2-1 with a 3.63 ERA in four starts against the Blue Jays, but has not beaten them since September 4, 2003 as a member of the New York Yankees.

Meanwhile, Toronto is looking to avoid losing two straight for the first time since losing a season-high nine straight from May 1-10.

Converted reliever Dustin McGowan (1-2, 5.90) takes the mound for the Blue Jays after notching his first win in over a year in his last start. The righthander allowed two runs and five hits in 7 2/3 innings against the Yankees on Monday.
