TIGERS (career numbers against Kluber)
Ian Kinsler, 2B (5-for-31, triple, walk, 9 K?s)
Cameron Maybin, CF (0-for-4, 2 K?s)
Miguel Cabrera, 1B (21-for-45, 2 doubles, 5 HR, 3 walks, 8 K?s)
Victor Martinez, DH (11-for-34, 3 HR, 3 walks, 4 K?s)
J.D. Martinez, RF (6-for-24, double, HR, 5 K?s)
Justin Upton, LF (3-for-9, double, 2 HR, walk, 4 K?s)
Erick Aybar, 3B (6-for-15, 2 K?s)
James McCann, C (0-for-4, 2 walks, K)
Jose Iglesias, SS (1-for-9, K)
P: Buck Farmer
indians (career numbers off Farmer)
Carlos Santana, DH (1-for-3, double, 2 walks, K)
Jason Kipnis, 2B (2-for-4, walk, K)
Francisco Lindor, SS (2-for-3, HR, 2 walks)
Mike Napoli, 1B (1-for-3, K)
Jose Ramirez, 3B (0-for-3)
Lonnie Chisenhall, RF (1-for-2, double)
Coco Crisp, LF (0-for-1)
Tyler Naquin, CF (2-for-3, HR, K)
Roberto Perez, C
P: Corey Kluber
Jose Iglesias returns to the starting lineup against Corey Kluber. Erick Aybar gets the matchup start at third base. But when you look at the lineup, the key is obviously (as usual) going to the middle of the order. Though Cabrera?s numbers below reflect a ton of success, he?s just 1-for-10 off Kluber this season. Victor Martinez is 2-for-9 against him.
Meanwhile, expect Brad Ausmus to be just as aggressive going to the bullpen early as he was yesterday.
?Even if you look at yesterday?s game, I managed that differently than I would have during the regular season,? Ausmus said. ?Part of that?s because of the expanded roster, part of that?s because we have to win. I wouldn?t normally bring Shane Greene in that early in the game, but I felt like if he could keep us in the game for a couple innings, we could fight back offensively and it would give us a shot. You still have to take into account the usage of pitchers. Guys you have used a lot, you try to avoid, but at the same time, they all understand.?
