Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins, May 14, 2009 1:10 PM EDT
Justin Verlander (3-2, 4.50) vs. 
Scott Baker (1-4, 6.83), 1:10 p.m. EST
Last night's extra innings aside, hasn't this series already been exhausting? It's felt like a trial of endurance, and losing the first two games has only made the ordeal more grueling. Fortunately, the Tigers have their best starting pitcher ready to help salvage a win today.
Justin Verlander has won his last three starts, allowing one run in 23 innings. 31 strikeouts in that span shows just how dominant he's been. Verlander's also been pitching deep into games (throwing a complete game last Friday at Cleveland), which is something he'll almost certainly have to do today with five relievers having to pitch in last night's 13-inning slog.
Luke French was called up from Triple-A to give the Tigers another arm, but unless another one or two relievers can pitch on short rest, there's not a whole lot to work with today. If Verlander keeps up his recent performance, that might be enough. Of course, it would be nice if the offense scored enough runs to give him some breathing room.
For Minnesota, Scott Baker pitched seven innings of shutout baseball in his last start, in what was easily his best effort of the season. In his previous four outings, he'd given up four runs or more. Baker's career record against the Tigers is 4-3 with a 3.69 ERA in 12 starts.
Here are your starting lineups:

Why switch Clete with Maggs?
Is McClendon still managing today? That whole batting order doesn’t make sense to me at all. I’ll say this though, Larish has been tearing it up…I’m glad he’s earned his roster spot.

Maggs
12 for 28 (.429 avg) with 3 doubles, 1 triple, and 2 HR off of Scott Baker.

Clete
0 for 6.
Small sample size etc, but still.
by ThaWalrus9 on May 14, 2009 12:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
All of those stats are from previous years
Maggs also hit over .300 in previous years. This is this year though.
I dunno, hope I’m proven wrong.

So far I haven't been though...
Maggs needs to be batting 6th or lower right now. Screw history. I want to win.

oakland had a catcher in the system from brown, and a pitcher from harvard in the system is blogging

I know it's tough to get thrown into a tough inning....
But Seay’s not exactly pounding the strike zone.

so JV’s ERA goes up .36 since he left
unbelievable…what a shame

take that back
He left one slider hanging in the bottom of the strike zone. One pitch nailed him.

Yes
But he has to throw left-handed… He’d still do better than Miner.

And no,
I will not feel better if we somehow rally and win. Verlander should be about to go to 4-2. Simply unbelievable.

well hate to waste the entire day
so I guess I better tend to some chores and hope the game goes better. I can’t stomach this crap any more today.

try to do some work while…at….work, and all of a sudden the Twinkies take the lead? I should have just slacked off and paid attention to the game the whole time….

Joe Nathan
Is the best…and an even better guy.
Oh well.
I hope the Tigers learn this year that next time a guy like K-Rod is available you SPEND to get him instead of trying to act thrifty and then abandoning your principles anyways to pay a boatload to guys like Lyon.

Jimmy Leyland told the nation
Have no fear of Twins’ rotation
I have lots of faith in Magglio…
I think back to the 6th winning
when our Tiger boys were winning
And Twins batters Verlander did mow.

There was a reason
that Comcast screwed up and shut off my cable. Couldn’t DVR the game and had to leave for work. Got home and got the cable straightened out only to come here and I think God spared me from this ugly game. OMG, it’s so depressing. How could they?
"It's designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops, and leaves you to face the fall alone". A. Bartlett Giamatti
