"Contreras lost for the fourth time in five starts. He has allowed 15 runs and 15 hits in his last two outings, which lasted a combined 4 2-3 innings. Acquired from the New York Yankees at the July 31 trade deadline for Esteban Loaiza, Contreras was roughed up for eight runs and five hits in 1 2-3 innings of a 10-3 loss to Texas last Tuesday. The Cuban right-hander went 3-0 with a 3.04 ERA in his first four starts after coming to Chicago. 'Contreras has a great arm and he's had success,' Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said. 'But he's not doing what he wants to do. So next time, we'll let him throw what he wants.'
'I hope he'll be relieved to hear that.'
Contreras, speaking through a translator, said he already was throwing what he wanted."
