Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins, Jun 30, 2008 8:10 PM EDT
Armando Galarraga (7-2, 3.32) vs. 
Glen Perkins (4-2, 4.47)
No more bullying the National League to boost that won-loss record. Beginning tonight, the Tigers find out right away how their rejuvenated squad stacks up against their closest competition in the AL Central. The Twins are currently in second place, 3 1/2 games ahead of Detroit, winning 14 of their last 20 games.
One team that's been better over their last 20 games, of course, has been the Tigers, who have won 16 games during that same span. Armando Galarraga got off to a rough start last time out against the Cardinals, giving up home runs to two of the first three batters he faced. But he hung in there until his lineup could tie the score and eventually win later (much later, with a long rain delay) in the ninth inning. Galarraga has lost both of his starts against the Twins this season.
Glen Perkins has won his last two starts for Minnesota, allowing just three runs in both appearances despite giving up a healthy number of hits (16 over 13 innings). That would seem to play right into the Tigers' hands, as they've been knocking the ball all over the park. (Detroit collected 42 hits in three games against Colorado this weekend.) However, it might be a bit of a concern that such big hit totals aren't resulting in more runs scored.
Twinkie Town has your SB Nation opposing view for this three-game series.

What a bad week to trade for Mauer on my fantasy team...
Here’s hoping that he homers only after the Tigers get up by 10 or so runs.

Seems like Gardenhire was arguing they should get to throw that far inside twice. Or maybe that the Tigers should get the warning, and not the Twins.

The Twins.
Just look at their lineup. Would that strike fear in anyone? The only reason they’re winning is because they hit .932 with RISP.
Plus, Glen Perkins is pitching.
They’re so…average sounding.

I have never
even heard of their 7-9 guys.
With that having been said, I respect any player on a big league team’s roster. If they can make it that far, they have to be legit on some level or another. After all, this is not basketball, where someone’s contract can be 100x more valuble than the player.

Just got home
was listening to the Twins announcers on XM. Did anyone from Minny throw at any Tigers? They made it sound like Armando was on a mission to kill all Twins batters.

No
The home plate ump issued a warning to both dugouts, so throwing at a Tiger would’ve gotten an ejection. That’s what made Gardenhire so pissed and got him ejected.

Leyland woke up.
Here comes Zumaya.
(So I fully recognize they were going for the lefty-lefty matchup with that first batter. But how funny would it be if Leyland actually DID fall asleep?
Dude wakes up…”what the…!? Get Zumaya in there!”)

this would be his third straight day
and he threw approximately 724 pitches in blowing the save on Saturday

He actually has thrown 4 times in 5 days
Probably wise to not make it 5 of 6.
