Game Notes
-- A day after taking a baseball off the knee, the Detroit Tigers first baseman is back in the field and hitting in his usual No. 3 spot for the series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies at Comerica Park (7:10 p.m., Fox Sports Detroit).
--Tonight's pitching matchup, at least on paper, appears to be a tough one for the Tigers. Vince Velasquez is eighth in the National League in ERA (2.42) and has a nifty 0.99 WHIP. He's 10th in the National League with 59 strikeouts. Mike Pelfrey, while he's pitched better in recent outings, is still searching for his first win as a Tiger. Both are right-handers.
--The Tigers have won six of their last seven games, moving to within 4.5 games of the first-place White Sox in the American League Central. The offense is cranked up, evidenced by the fact Miguel Cabrera and Cameron Maybin were named American League Co-Players of the Week on Monday. Cabrera hit .500 with three homers and six RBIs. Maybin batted .600 with five RBIs and four stolen bases.
--The surprising Phillies are in third place in the National League East, two games behind the first-place Nationals. Philadelphia had the worst record in the National League in 2015.
No DL for Tigers' Jordan Zimmermann, but he will miss his next start
