White Sox | Contreras wins 16th consecutive decision

Chicago White Sox SP Jose Contreras won his team-record 16th consecutive decision, Friday, June 23, against the Houston Astros, according to the Associated Press. Contreras has not lost since Aug. 21, 2005, against the Minnesota Twins, in a streak that covers his last 21 regular-season starts. He took sole possession of the club's consecutive wins streak previously shared by P LaMarr Hoyt and P Wilson Alvarez, and it is the majors' longest streak since the Twins' Johan Santana won 17 consecutive decisions from July 2004 to April 2005. Contreras improved his record to 8-0 on the season.
