deduno 2013 call up. hit hard vs. Tigers 2012.
Deduno's last trip to Comerica Park didn't go so well, though, as he allowed seven runs in just 2 1/3 innings of an 8-0 defeat Sept. 22.

Detroit Tigers Gameday: Avisail Garcia to start in place of Torii Hunter; Omar Infante to bat second.
from Mlive
Miguel Cabrera is just the fourth player in major league history to hit at least .390 with 14 or more home runs and 55 or more RBIs in his team's first 45 games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The other three are Chuck Klein (1930), Jimmie Foxx (1932) and Manny Ramirez (2001). Miggy's next double will be the 400th of his career.

2013 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot. Vote for deserving Tigers players.
Valverde off tonight after pitching 3 straight days. Benoit will get 9th in a save situation for Tigers.
Leyland would prefer not to use Downs tonight, too.
Leyland said Torii Hunter is just getting a typical day off today.
Brayan Pena had an MRI on his right hand after the game. Nothing to worry about, he said. Leyland said he'll be fine after a night of rest.
Omar Infante leads the Majors with a .429 BA at home in 19 games.
Tigers are 47-18 at Comerica Park since 7/4/12 -- 47 wins and .723 win pct. at home lead majors.
A night off for Torii Hunter means a night in the lineup for Avisail Garcia against a right-handed pitcher, Samuel Deduno. Don Kelly starts in center, with Garcia in right.
Deduno has pitched effectively against the Tigers, and he has pitched colossally bad, like someone averse to the strike zone. The trouble for the Twins tonight is that their bullpen has logged a lot of innings lately. If the Tigers wait out Deduno and try to run up his pitch count, and he can’t throw strikes, it could put the Twins in a really bad spot, not just for tonight but for Saturday afternoon.
As for the Tigers bullpen, the one guy on break tonight is Jose Valverde, who finished out the last three games. Joaquin Benoit will get the save opportunity if there is one. What happens against right-handed batters leading up to the ninth could be more interesting, with Leyland potentially mixing Jose Ortega and Luke Putkonen. It could also end up being a night when Anibal Sanchez gets a bigger pitch count.
The one Tiger with good numbers off Deduno is leadoff man Andy Dirks. Still, it’s tough to go against Cabrera in MLB.com’s Beat the Streak game, even though you know his run will end for a night at some point.
