Notable:

Tigers outfielder Mikie Mahtook has quietly put together an eight-game hitting streak dating to May 31. He's hitting .455 (10-for-22) over that stretch.
Tigers starter Michael Fulmer is making his first start in nine days after experiencing mild shoulder inflammation in his last start. He received a cortisone injection and said he felt fine in his mid-start side sessions.
He pitched against the Rays April 18 in Tampa, giving up three earned runs in six innings in a 5-1 loss at Tropicana Field.
Rays starter Chris Archer struck out but gave up four runs in five innings during his last outing against the Tigers on April 19 in St. Petersburg.
He's 1-2 with a 3.63 ERA in seven career starts against the Tigers.
This will be Archer's third career start at Comerica. He gave up six runs on eight hits in three innings here on May 22, 2016, his last appearance.
Andrew Romine (5-for-12) has the highest average of any current Tiger with at least 10 at-bats against Archer. Ian Kinser (3-for-22 with eight strikeouts) has struggled.
The Detroit Tigers are using their newly freed-up designated hitter spot to give J.D. Martinez a day off his feet.
Martinez will be the DH on Saturday, while Mikie Mahtook will play right field.
Mahtook has an eight-game hitting streak dating to May 31.
Andrew Romine will play third to give Nicholas Castellanos a day off. Castellanos is 4-for-17 with nine strikeouts in his career against Archer.

Gameday.
This game is not on MLB extra innings, and is not on the Fox station I get.
So FoxSucks is pulling their monopoly of the airwaves and squeezing a couple of games out. I guess you guys in Detroit have it on one of your fox stations, FS1?
