Austin Jackson will be recognized as the winner of the Tigers Heart & Hustle Award presented by MLB Players Alumni Assn. prior to the game.

White Sox on a 3-game slide. Elias Sports Bureau finds Chris Sale is 8-0, 2.02 ERA in 10 starts immediately after losses this year.

Tigers have won last 11 of 13 games. MiguelCabrera hitting .400 with 5 HRs, 12 RBIs, and Fielder is batting .383 with 15 RBI.

Right-handed batters are hitting .207 off the pride of Lakeland, Chris Sale. Left-handed hitters are at .209. But at least the righties have hit for some power. So aside from Prince Fielder and Brennan Boesch, the Tigers are going righty-happy today with their lineup. That includes sitting Quintin Berry, who has quietly gone 0-for-10 since his three-hit outburst Monday. Ryan Raburn, 1-for-4 with a home run off Sale since 2010, gets another chance to break out of a 5-for-36 July.
Jason Beck

Gerald Laird will be in the lineup Saturday when the Tigers face the White Sox in the battle for first place in the American League Central Division at 4 p.m. at Comerica Park.
Laird will catch and bat eighth when the Tigers go up against All-Star pitcher Chris Sale (11-2, 2.11 ERA). Rick Porcello (6-5, 4.66) will be on the mound for the Tigers, who have won three straight to pull within one-half game of the White Sox.
Porcello has a 4-0 record (2.52) in his last five starts dating back to Aug. 14, 2010, against the White Sox.
When asked why Alex Avila was getting a day off, Tigers manager Jim Leyland replied, "He's (Sale) a nasty lefty and Gerald hit a home run off Sale in Chicago earlier this year to actually win the game."
Sale, a 6-foot-6 left-hander, last suffered a loss on May 12. The Tigers defeated Sale 5-2 April 15, reaching Sale for three runs and five hits in five innings.
Austin Jackson will be leading off with Ryan Raburn playing left field and hitting second, followed by Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, Delmon Young, Jhonny Peralta, Brennan Boesch, Laird and Danny Worth, who will be playing second.
Leyland said he wasn't sure if left-handed reliever Phil Coke would be available. Coke's wife gave birth to their first child, a daughter early this morning.
"I don't know where he is," said Leyland of Coke. "His wife had a baby at 2 o'clock this morning. I hope he's here today. He didn't get much sleep. I know he was pretty zonked out. By the time he'd pitch it would be 6:30 or so.
"I'm hoping he makes it, but I don't know if he will or not to be honest with you. He might sleep and not wake up until 7 o'clock. That's pretty stressful. That's their first child. They had a baby girl. I saw a text of him holding the baby, but I haven't seen him."
from the detnews

The Detroit Tigers have pulled within a half-game of the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox.
Is today the day they reclaim the division lead in nearly three months?
A few observations from today's lineup: Ryan Raburn is back in left field, batting second with left-hander Chris Sale slated to start for the White Sox.
As a result, Tigers manager Jim Leyland is stacking the lineup with right-handed hitters, penciling Danny Worth at second base, hitting ninth.
Quintin Berry, who is hitless in his last 10 at-bats, has seen his .297 batting average drop to .280 the last three games. He'll be available off the bench, along with left-handed hitters Don Kelly and Alex Avila, who will get a day off with Gerald Laird starting behind the plate.
Rick Porcello -- who struggled in his first start of the second half, giving up five runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings Monday -- will take the mound for the Tigers, who have won three straight and 11 of 13.

This game won't be blacked out or anything, will it? Being on FOX and all?

You're in Detroit right? idk how it works for the teams playing in their own areas, from what I see on my schedule is they have the angels-rangers game.
So I could be blacked out....if so, I will have to listen to Dan and Jim.

I was just going to post that I have no games available on my MLB Extra Innings subscription at all during the time of the Tigers game.

I have the Angels vs. Texas on Fox here in Cali, but I remember seeing a promo during the game yesterday, that the Tigers - White Sox game today is on Fox; I guess it's regional coverage.

So if the game is on Fox where a person is, then the game isn't blacked out where a person is, because the game is on Fox.

Where that person is.

Does that make sense?

MLB has this stupid agreement with their pals at fox to block games during their 4 pm game. Just a few times this year did they allow 4pm start time games to be shown on mlb extra innings. fox sucks so bad, all their announcers, and it's trickled over to the mlb network. and the players they have...millar, that kid used to play for the rockies and a's.
I'll remember his name in awhile just saw him. eric byrnes.

I don't think it's MLB that has the agreement with Fox.

I think it's Fox that has the agreement with Fox.

With a few exceptions, all the local cable sports channels are Fox affiliates.

In a round about rather quirky way, yeah ;-)

Everyone gets the #1 game [usually done by Joe Suck and Tim McCrazy], unless they are in a market with a team playing and then they gets that game instead. [Det and Chi areas get Tigers-Sox].

And then Fox blacks out any other broadcasts of the game like MLB extra innings etc. because they have exclusive broadcast rights.

All in all it's a really stupid system that just gives FOX or ESPN the rights to charge more for commercials because of exclusivity during those games.

"Stupid" for the consumer, yes.

Stupid for ESPN and FOX?

Not so much.

I have XM radio, but the last time I tried, the baseball games were blacked out over the internet.

I'll check and see if that's changed.

If it hasn't, maybe I'll take my Sunday drive a day early, and listen to the Tigers on my XM radio in my car.

Maybe I'll park at a Sonic, and have a hot dog.
 
man. why does fox like to show the tigers games so much? really screws us left coast people
 
Once upon a time companies actually cared about the consumers...
 
FOX announcers are just terrible...

First they called Sale the all-star starter...then said the first big trade of the year was yesterday when the White Sox got the reliever from the Astros.....dipshits did'nt notice Youkilis?
