Carlos Quentin broke a 1-1 tie with a grand slam in the eighth inning and then Nick Swisher added one more insurance run with a solo home run in the ninth inning as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels 6-1.  With the late inning win, the White Sox are now just one game under .500

Jose Contreras pitched seven innings to pick up the win which improved his record to 4-3 on the season.  Contreras gave up four hits and one run while lowering his era to 3.35 on the season.  Scott Linebrink and Bobby Jenks pitched the final two innings without letting a run score.

Quentin led the White Sox with five rbi in the game and Swisher had one rbi as well.  Would have been nice to see other players step up and contribute but the White Sox got lucky that Quentin had the game he did.
