Team Bullpens: Each team's record when leading when heading to the ninth inning, when leading heading to the eighth inning, when tied heading into the ninth and the overall bullpen ERA.

Tuesday's best pitching matchup:
Detroit's Max Scherzer versus Boston's Jon Lester.
Scherzer is going for his 20th win but faces Lester, who has allowed more than three runs just once in his past nine starts. Scherzer escaped his second defeat in his last start when the Tigers rallied in the ninth inning. Considering the Tigers' remaining schedule, if he gets past this one without a loss we could be looking at the best single-season win-loss percentage in history.

Tigers 3 - Red Sox 0 ? Doug Fister?s groundball-inducing talent overcame his shaky control, enabling 7 scoreless frames as Detroit moved up to 4-1 against the BoSox. Fister gave 4 free runners in the first 2 innings (with one HBP), but DPs bailed him out both times, and he bagged another in the 6th after a leadoff hit, taking the AL lead in that department. John Lackey dueled Fister evenly through six, but he left a slider up to Andy Dirks, who drove it to the triangle, just past Ellsbury?s reach, plating one and setting up the next.

Detroit had missed three prior scoring chances, going 0-8 after a trio of doubles that came with less than 2 outs, as V-Mart couldn?t find the seam in Boston?s defense or on the baseline. The sing-along inspired a Boston rally, with Daniel Nava?s leadoff double and Fister?s 4th walk. But to avoid another twin-kill, they asked Jarrod Saltalamacchia to execute his first sacrifice since 2009; Alex Avila nailed the lead runner, and two groundouts choked the threat. Fister got 13 of his 21 outs on grounders (4 Ks, 4 air outs); his GB/FB ratio is 3rd among all qualifiers.
?The teams combined for 1 of 23 with RISP, that one a non-scoring single.
?I thought the Salty bunt was an odd choice. True, he whiffed and DP?d in his first two trips. But his DPs when batting left are rare; he?s dangerous from that side, especially this year; and his numbers against Fister showed 5 for 10, a HR and two doubles. The count was 1-and-0, another point for Salty.
?Some DPs are tailor-made, but some require alterations.
?Fister walked just 24 in his first 22 starts, but 13 in his last 6 games. Boston beat him from pillar to post in their last two meetings.
?The last Tiger with 7+ scoreless innings in Fenway was ? well, who?d've thunk it?!
?Tuesday: Max Scherzer goes for #20 against Jon Lester. Detroit touched up Lester in June, but he still got the win, and the Tigers likely won?t have Miggy, who?s reached in 15 of 21 trips against the southpaw. Scherzer mastered Boston in that series, but David Ortiz has owned him (7-13, 3 HRs).

Examining the September callups.
from fangraphs

1. Nick Castellanos, RF/3B, Tigers: The addition of Castellanos to the active roster was a no-brainer. He was added to the 40-man roster a year earlier than he had to be (to be protected from the Rule 5 draft) but he?s close enough to big-league ready that he?s not going to need all three of his option years.

With third baseman Miguel Cabrera ? the club?s most dangerous hitter ? currently battling abdominal discomfort, Castellanos could become a key player in the month of September. His presence ? and ability to play third base as well as left and right field ? will provide Manager Jim Leyland the flexibility to rest a number of key veterans in anticipation of a long playoff run.

At the plate, the freshman player utilizes a line-drive swing from the right side of the plate and isn?t afraid to use the whole field. He doesn?t have prototypical power that one expects from a third baseman or corner outfielder but he could be good for a plethora of doubles and 15-20 home runs in a full season. The down side of Castellanos, 21, comes on defense. At third base, he?s fringe-average to average, thanks in part to his strong arm, which helps compensate for his stiff actions. In the outfield, he?s still learning to properly read fly balls.
