Alex Avila is back in the Tigers starting lineup against Bartolo Colon, whom he has hit for two home runs in three at-bats. So is Andy Dirks, who retakes the second spot in the Tigers batting order.

As for Oakland, Brandon Inge is batting sixth. Yoenis Cespedes is not in the lineup.

Waiting for the bats.
from MarioImpemba'sTigersblog

"We're swinging at too many balls," Leyland said during the series. "If you expand the strike zone, the pitcher is not going to throw too many over the plate. Why would they?"

The numbers seem to back Leyland's claim. Through May 9th last season, the Tigers walked 121 times as a club. Through May 9th this season, that number is down to 81. Moreover, the club scored 162 runs at this point in 2011, compared to 124 this year.
