Tigers vs. twins Game Preview.
http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/29966/rick-porcello
Porcello vs. twinks. 38 for 117, 4 hr, 19 rbi, .325 .388 .504 .892
Noteworthy on Rick Porcello this year: improvement with his change-up. Getting swings and misses on nearly 18% of CU's he throws.

Tigers Hitters vs. ffdiamond. 22 for 106, 1 hr, 7 rbi, 208 .261 .283 .544 another garbage pitcher stats wise giving Tigers fits. Shut them down earlier this year.

Tigers vs. twinks Game Preview.
Tigers seeking to take advantage of struggling Twins.
The Twins and Tigers have already split six games this year, with Minnesota out-scoring Detroit, 23-20.
Twins have dropped eight straight, including five at home. They've been swept by the Red Sox at home and the Braves in Atlanta. And 12 of their next 20 games are on the road.
Omar Infante is hitting .354 with 20 runs scored, six doubles, two triples, three HR and 11 RBI over his last 26 games.

Detroit Tigers Gameday: Avisail Garcia gets nod in center field, Matt Tuiasosopo starts in left vs. Twins.

It’s the standard anti-lefty lineup for the Tigers, which means a second consecutive night off for Alex Avila. Brayan Pena actually has fared worse against Scott Diamond (0-for-5 with three strikeouts) than Avila (1-for-3, two strikeouts) has, but it’s a very small sample size. Interesting that a fair number of Detroit’s right-handed hitters haven’t hit Diamond well at all.
One guy who has fared well is Miguel Cabrera, 8-for-16 against him. If he homers tonight, he’ll tie his career-best streak of four consecutive games with a home run, set back in 2004 with the Marlins. If you’re playing Beat the Streak, it’s tough not to pick him between the matchups and the way he’s going.
You can follow the game online via Gameday, watch online through MLB.TV or listen on MLB.com Gameday Audio. Locally, you can watch on Fox Sports Detroit and listen on 97.1 FM AM 1270.
As for the weather forecast … well, considering how off it was last night, let’s just not even get into it. rain delay.
