Anibal Sanchez makes his second start of the season after the Tigers dropped their second straight game Monday, losing 7-4 to the Pittsburgh Pirates. He earned the win in his first start, allowing two runs on four hits in five innings pitched Wednesday at Miami.

Sanchez has lost his last four starts against Pittsburgh dating back to the 2012 season. In those four games, he gave up 16 runs on 28 hits in 27 innings.

Juan Nicasio allowed a run on two hits and struck out seven in six innings Wednesday in a win over St. Louis. This is his sixth major league season and first career start vs. Detroit.

J.D. Martinez and Jose Iglesias carry five-game hitting streaks into Tuesday's game. Martinez was 2-for-3 with a home run Monday, while Iglesias went 1-for-3 with a single.

The weather forecast for Detroit for mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid to upper 40s. There is no chance of rain.

now is the time to see if signing Salty was a good move.

Probably won't hit any worse. Seems to be fine behind the plate, no worse than McCann.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Can't steal on the Tigers..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Let's just dissolve the leagues and conglomerate MLB into one, single league. Call them the National and the American divisions, make the DH league wide, and weight the schedule against a selected sub-division in a rota fashion.

If the NL would just adopt the DH and the interleague games would be fair. It would be like an NFC team playing an AFC team.

 

[biggunsbob]

One way or another . I perfer the DH but baseball needs to make both leagues the same.

 

[biggunsbob]

Should we go out and get another catcher or just hold for now ?

 

[biggunsbob]

[biggunsbob]
