Tigers look for revenge, consistency against White Sox

Apr 11, 2008 - 1:36 PM Detroit (1-8) at Chi White Sox (5-3) 8:11 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) - Less than a week after the Detroit Tigers were swept by the Chicago White Sox, the same two teams meet again in the opener of a three-game set on Friday.

Chicago outscored Detroit, 26-10, in last weekend's series, including an embarrassing 13-2 victory in the finale on Sunday.

The White Sox split a pair of games against Minnesota and had Thursday's rubber-game rained out.

Jose Contreras (0-0, 7.20 ERA) hopes to improve on his first start, when he takes the mound for Chicago.

The righthander gave up five runs - four earned - and 10 his in five innings against Detroit on April 4. Contreras also walked four with two strikeouts.

The Tigers finally won their first game of the season on Wednesday but dropped the final contest of a three-game series, 12-6, to Boston on Thursday.

Miguel Cabrera has gotten off to a slow start with his new team, hitting just .138 (4-for-29) with one home run and one RBI.

Another offseason acquisition, Dontrelle Willis hopes to have more control in his second start after walking seven batters in a 5-3 loss to Chicago on April 5.

Willis (0-0, 5.40) gave up three runs on just one hit in five innings, and failed to record a strikeout.
