Robertson, Contreras battle in season finale

Sep 30, 2007 - 2:12 PM Detroit (87-74) at Chi White Sox (72-89) 2:05 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) - The Detroit Tigers look to take the final game in their weekend series against the Chicago White Sox in the regular-season finale on Sunday.

Nate Robertson (8-13, 4.79 ERA) tries to end his two-game slide for the Tigers. The 6-2 lefthander was solid in his last start, but was on the short end of a 2-0 loss to Minnesota. Robertson is 0-3 with a 6.00 ERA over his last five starts against the White Sox.

Chicago's Jose Contreras (10-16, 5.52) searches for his fifth straight winning decision. The Cuban righthander was hammered for in his last outing, giving up five runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings to Kansas City.

Contreras has an 8-5 record with a 4.18 ERA through 18 career starts against Detroit, which had dropped seven of its last 11 games.

Detroit's Magglio Ordonez is close to earning the club's first batting crown since Norm Cash hit .361 in 1961. He is hitting .359 this season and has two homers against Contreras.
