Alex Avila out of lineup with renewed knee soreness. "Red flag," Leyland said.
Avila due to be examined later today.
Alex Avila out of lineup. Left knee's hurting. Getting checked out by a Rangers doctor today. Avila frustrated, Leyland concerned.

To say Detroit Tigers right-hander Rick Porcello has struggled against the Texas Rangers would be quite the understatement.
In three career starts against the Rangers, Porcello has a 12.27 ERA , including his shortest outing over his last three years.
Porcello gave up nine runs over one-plus inning in a 10-4 loss in the opener of a doubleheader against Texas on April 21.
A day after hitting his first career home run, Quintin Berry will start in left for the second straight day, batting second behind Austin Jackson.
Brennan Boesch will bat sixth behind designated hitter Delmon Young and Ramon Santiago will start at second and bat eighth behind Jhonny Peralta.

Slumping Miguel Cabrera, Tigers face Rangers rookie.
Miguel Cabrera, who has just two hits in his last 20 at-bats, spanning five games, tries to break out of his slump Monday night against Rangers rookie Justin Grimm, who has made just one MLB start.
Grimm (1-0, 4.50 ERA) beat the Astros on June 16, giving up six hits and three earned runs over six innings. He will be opposed by Rick Porcello (4-5, 4.95).
Cabrera, who had been hitting .325 as recently as June 6, has two homers in his last 15 games. His average has fallen to .301, and he has 15 homers on the season.

Hmm....hope we can figure this guy out. Rick's gonna need some run support tonight.


He's a non MLB caliber pitcher called up to fill in and expected to give up a few runs.

He'll probably go 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, and 6 K's knowing our lineup vs. pitchers we should beat up on. (Grimm)
 
I'd bat Laird 5th.

As much as I can't believe I'm saying that.

So you're saying it's going to be a Grimm night? :)
 
Probably going to depend on Porcello. But this is not a series I was looking forward to.

I think we'll split with Tampa. Have to win 1 of these in Texas. Then it's KC and Minn. before the break. Tigers can only afford to lose 1 of those.

Miguel Cabrera is tops among active players with a .370 average vs Texas, while he's 2nd with a .604 SLG% & 3rd with a .407 OBP.
