Tigers honor former All-Star shortstop Carlos Guillen.
The Tigers honored their former All-Star shortstop, Carlos Guillen, before Saturday's game for his induction into the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame.

Guillen, who was the guest of honor as the annual Fiesta Tigres luncheon on Friday, was dressed in a sport coat and tie as he received a plaque from the Hall of Fame honoring his induction. The Tigers also presented him with a framed jersey from his playing days.

It was a fitting tribute for a player who was one of the cornerstones of the Tigers' turnaround from 119 losses in 2003 to the World Series three years later and perennial contender after that. Guillen hit .320 with 41 doubles, 19 homers, 85 RBIs and a .920 OPS in that 2006 season, then batted .296 with nine triples, 21 homers and 102 RBIs the next year.

Injuries slowly ate away at his seasons after that, and he retired this spring, but he looked healthy as he jogged out to the mound and fired a ceremonial first pitch, shortstop style, to former teammate Ramon Santiago.

Coke makes tweaks to delivery in side session.
Phil Coke spent Friday afternoon working with pitching coach Jeff Jones in an extended side session to try to make some mechanical tweaks. He probably won't have to wait long to figure out if the tweaks make a difference.

Coke said Friday night that one of the adjustments was on his leg action, to try to get him to turn his hips more and get more velocity out of his pitches. Another adjustment that Jones pointed out was to keep Coke's hands from moving so much in his delivery.

To say Coke's recent work has been a concern would be an understatement. He gave up three runs on five hits with four outs in two outings at Boston earlier in the week. He had allowed a run on five hits over 6 1/3 innings in his previous eight appearances combined.

Some of that can be chalked up to the ups and downs of a reliever in a season. Still, Coke's particular struggles against left-handed hitters -- remember the walk to young left-handed hitter Ryan Kalish and the home run to Carl Crawford Wednesday at Fenway Park -- were a surprise to both the Tigers and himself.

"You can compare film between last year and this year," Coke said Saturday. "All you have to do is look at the tempo and you can see a massive difference. That alone, the tempo in which I work, is a totally different thing."

For the year, left-handed batters are hitting .261 (23-for-88) against Coke, 46 points higher than last year. Right-handed hitters, meanwhile, are batting .381 (32-for-84) off him, a 67-point rise from 2011 and 105 points higher than 2010.
