Taming the Tigers
The Twins will open a home series against the Detroit Tigers tonight. The Tigers are riding a 3-game win-streak, which has propelled them to the top of the AL Central. The run of wins can be almost entirely attributed to stellar pitching--they shut out Cleveland on Friday and Saturday before allowing just 3 runs to them on Sunday.
The Twins will have to face Justin Verlander, who pitched a Complete Game shutout on Friday, for the last game of the series on Thursday. First, however, they get to face a couple guys who haven't faired as well lately.
Detroit's Blockbuster Deal
On the Day a Johan Santana trade will likely be finalized, the Detroit Tigers have stolen the show by landing Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis in exchange for some stud prospects including Andrew Miller, Cameron Maybin and Mike Rabelo.
