Texas at Detroit

Detroit has won six in a row and are getting excellent pitching, outscoring opponents 35-7 during this streak. Wednesday's 4-2 victory is included as Robbie Grossman, Zack Short and Akil Baddoo all homered for the Tigers. Texas has lost seven straight and hasn't won in nearly two weeks, scoring just six runs its last six games. The Rangers are 0-9 after losing the first three games of a series and they are 19-46 their past 65 road games versus left-handed starters. The Tigers have won eight home games in a row and finally are reaping some rewards from their rebuilding project. Tyler Alexander will make his fourth start of the season and he has allowed nine runs in 20 1/3 innings at home this year. Mike Foltynewicz is 2-9 with a 5.91 ERA and his career is in danger. Play the Tigers.
