Tigers 6 - Twins 1: Rolling a 4-game streak into a J.V. start is a luxury. Verlander shaved his ERA to 1.83 and anted up 8 Ks into the rotation?s kitty, giving them 48 in the last full turn. The big boys both hit 2-run HRs to right and have 28 and 27 RBI, respectively.
No Tiger teammates since 1961 have both batted in at least 115 rbi.

DETROIT -- Avisail Garcia's next step was always going to be Triple-A Toledo. It will not, however, be a rehab assignment.
While Phil Coke went on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday, the Tigers took Garcia off of it. They then optioned him to the Mud Hens, where he'll pick up his learning process with his first Triple-A stint.
Garcia opened the season on the DL with a bruised right heel he sustained in mid-March while he was competing for a spot on Detroit's Opening Day roster. He spent the past week on rehab with Class A Lakeland, going 10-for-24 with two triples, a home run, nine runs, four RBIs and two stolen bases in six games for the Flying Tigers.
Even with the Tigers' season-opening struggles to get production out of left field, Garcia was always going to need Minor League games somewhere to make up for lost time. While a hot start in Toledo could put him in the conversation to rejoin the Tigers, Andy Dirks' recent production and a good opening month from Matt Tuiasosopo in a part-time role have settled down things in left.

Tigers won't let aggresiveness slide with Victor.
DETROIT -- The first reaction from Tigers fans whenever Victor Martinez slides home on a play at the plate is going to be the same: How's the knee?

After a 2012 season lost to knee surgery, it's a natural reaction, not just from fans but from team officials. But it's not going to stop the Tigers from being aggressive with him rounding third on base hits.

With that in mind, manager Jim Leyland said he had no problem with third-base coach Tom Brookens' decision to send Martinez home Tuesday night on Andy Dirks' single to right. A high, arcing throw from Chris Parmelee beat Martinez home just enough for catcher Joe Mauer to make a swipe tag as he slid by.

"It was a no-brainer. He should have been sent home, and he was sent home," Leyland said. "He was out, but he should have been sent home, without question."

That doesn't mean Martinez doesn't warrant special consideration, Leyland said. When Jeff Francoeur easily threw out Martinez at the plate earlier in the homestand, by enough of a margin that Martinez simply veered back towards the dugout, Leyland said Brookens had made a mistake.
Still, there's a balance.
"That's one of the arts of being a good third-base coach," Leyland said.
