After sitting out the past two games, Detroit Tigers outfielder Brennan Boesch is back in the lineup as the Detroit Tigers seek out their season-high fifth straight win.
Boesch is batting sixth behind Delmon Young, who is riding a three-game homer streak, in the final game of the club's three-game series against the visiting Kansas City Royals.
Quintin Berry is batting second for the straight day and playing in left field, while Ryan Raburn, who has started the team's last seven games, is available off the bench.
Max Scherzer takes the mound Sunday afternoon -- five days after his scheduled start had to be pushed back due to soreness in his left hamstring. He suffered the injury while running the day after winning in Tampa Bay on June 28.
Kansas City will counter with their third straight left-hander in Everett Teaford, who will try to help the struggling Royals avoid a sweep while building on his first win of the season.

Max will fan a bunch of Royals and get us the sweep, taking 5 of 7 on the homestand just like we thought.

Hopefully Boesch and Young are getting warmer and not just pulling another 3 game tease.

Young has been facing lefties, that's why he looks good.

 

[biggunsbob]

Get us in boys... I have to go do stuff with the wife!!!!!! Dickerson and Price for me on and off!!!

Good looking lineup today. Let's get the sweep and build some momentum for the 2nd half.

 

[mhughes0021]

Young with 2 good days in a row. I feel like smokes should have benched him today.

3 game tease? Young's hitting .318 with 4 homers and 10 RBI's in his last 11 games. Some big hits in that stretch too.

Huh? 2 of the homers the last 3 games were off of righties.

Yes, 3 game tease.

He was good against TB 3 games, with no K's at junk, and multi-hit games/RBI/HR

And this last 3 games, no K's at junk, and RBI/HR.

The in between 4 games: he batted .188 with 4K's.

Well god damn him for not getting 2 hits every game. I mean, seriously, the nerve of that guy!

Delmon Young sucks.

[kalinecountry]

Max has the changeup working beautifully, 34 pitches and 3 k's.

 

[jas5lf]
