Kazmir P Season: 2-3, 3.09 era (1.25 whip), Lifetime against Tigers 5-5 (15 starts), 3.51 era
Tigers have only managed 10 hits (all singles) and 1 run in the first 2 games but somehow still have a chance to win this series. Tigers are 24-7 when scoring first and 3-13 when they don’t.
Scheduled starter Alfredo Simon has been placed on the bereavement list so he can be with his father in the Dominican Republic. Left-hander Kyle Ryan was supposed to start today but it appears he couldn’t make it to the game on time. Alex Wilson will get the start. Expect to see Blaine Hardy as well.
The A's are trying to bounce back from their first loss in four games by turning to Scott Kazmir who is 0-3 with a 5.32 ERA in his last four starts. Kazmir went 1-0 with a 1.26 ERA in two starts against the Tigers last year, tossing a six-hitter in a 3-1 home victory May 28. Kazmir has a 1.85 era at home this year and has not allowed a home run in that shit stadium.
Rajai Davis and Miguel Cabrera have had plenty of success against Kazmir. Davis is hitting .476 (10 for 21) with three doubles, a triple, a home run, six RBIs and eight strikeouts against him. Cabrera is 8 for 26 with two doubles, a triple, two home runs, six RBIs and four walks. Iglesias is 4 for 5 with a double but will miss his 4th straight game with a knee contusion.
The other four current Tigers who have faced Kazmir haven't hit him at all. Ian Kinsler is hitting .139 (5 for 36) with three extra-base hits. J.D. Martinez (0 for 8), Yoenis Cespedes (0 for 6) and Nick Castellanos (0 for 3) are the other Tigers who have faced him.
Tigers have now scored 2 or fewer runs in 22 of their last 40 games.
