Texas at Detroit

The long and winding road continues for Texas, its fifth straight road contest on a seven-game trip. And they're playing on the trip like they don't know what a baseball is, losing three in a row by a 19-6 count. Texas has lost seven of eight road games and 32-year-old starter Cole Hamels has walked 15 in 30 innings on the season, along with 27 hits allowed. He faces a good Detroit offense ranked #12 in runs and on base percentage. Detroit is home after a six-game trip. Tigers' second baseman Ian Kinsler is 21-for-56 with nine RBIs against Texas since being traded for Prince Fielder following the 2013 season. The Tigers have a red-hot ace going in Jordan Zimmermann (5-0, 0.55 ERA), who was the American League Pitcher of the Month for April, so back the home field and play Detroit.
