Detroit Tigers at Pittsburgh Pirates, Jun 13, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Armando Galarraga (3-6, 5.19) vs. 
Zach Duke (6-4, 3.07), 7:05 p.m. EST
One Detroit team beat a team from Pittsburgh last night, and now the Tigers are the only game in town for the next couple of months. If you didn't know, you currently have a first-place baseball club, Detroit! Hopefully, they continue to play well now that they'll be getting the full attention of the Detroit sports fanbase and media.
Zach Duke has been the Pirates' best starting pitcher, leading the team in wins and ERA. He's also among the staff leaders in strikeouts and WHIP. However, after three outstanding starts in which he pitched at least seven innings, giving up two or fewer runs, Duke was rocked in his last appearance. The Braves tagged him for six runs and 11 hits in six innings, slugging three home runs in the process. (He'd only given up four for the season, coming into the game.) At PNC Park this year, Duke has a 4-2 record in six starts with a 2.66 ERA.
Armando Galarraga is winless in his past eight starts, as he still tries to regain a feel for the slider and sinker that he used so successfully last season. But he's shown improvement over his last three appearances. (And he probably would've gotten a win on Monday if Joel Zumaya hadn't given up a game-tying homer, then vultured the win for himself.) As it stands right now, Galarraga probably doesn't have to worry about his spot in the Tigers' starting rotation, due to Jeremy Bonderman's stalled recovery. But it's nice to know he's going out there every fifth day based on merit, as well.
I don't know if I'll be back in time to post the lineups before the first pitch, but is it too much to ask for Don Kelly not to be batting third tonight? I'm going to assume Marcus Thames will be in the lineup, with the left-handed Duke pitching against the Tigers.
UPDATE: Here are tonight's starting lineups:

Tuning in from work for another Tigers Win. I will let yall have a few predictions. Thames will hit a Home Run Today. Gallaraga will battle hard, holding Pittsburgh scoreless through five.
by TIGERSFAN40 on Jun 13, 2009 6:53 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Galarraga will give up homer in second
But then make it to 6th before being pulled with 2 on. And then we win.
And based on our pitcher’s skills at the plate recently, how about Armando hits a Grand Slam in the 5th?

LMAO Kmann
That’s not a prediction for Galarraga….that’s what usually happens! Minus the Grand slam of course!
by TIGERSFAN40 on Jun 13, 2009 6:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
You're right
if any GS will be hit by one of our pitchers, it will be tomorrow from the D-train. He was a beast at the plate!

hey
sometimes Galarraga gives up the HR in the first, so it’s a bit differnet

Here is the only prediction that can be made.
I will drink at least 10 IPA’s during tonights game. That is the only for certain……

Interesting, I like it. Looks more like a Death Row. Homer, Homer, (groundout to second), Homer.

new strategy for Leyland
Anyone not named Cabrera, Ordonez or Thames should probably try to steal second. So what if he’s gunned down, he’d be out in a GIDP anyway

Hmmm, naw, has nothing to do with the game
For example, my comment the other night “Oh JV, Do Me” was both sexual and influential. Thereby making it the COTN (I guess). Sexual and influential. Keep that in mind.
But the best COTN’s are ones that people didn’t try for. Raw emotion is the best.

Not to bring up a sore subject....
but I need you hockey fans to explain this to me. We were watching the end of the game and the celebration. I thought is was pretty cool that the Red Wing fans were giving them a good reaction….BUT where the booing Betman just because they hate him? Am I missing something (I am sure…)?

But he’s done that before. He insisted and insisted and insisted that they weren’t on life support, and the league wasn’t in control – then they file for bankruptcy and he says the owner couldn’t do that because the NHL has been giving them money since February.

Hey.. Maybe Nate and Armando swap?
Nate back to the rotation, Armando to the pen to get 8% of the pitching work?

If you were to ask Leyland right now
I bet he’d favor that move.
