PrintKansas City Royals at Detroit Tigers, Jul 6, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Gil Meche (4-8, 4.20) vs. 
Armando Galarraga (5-7, 5.34), 7:05 p.m. EST
After a 3-9 road trip, the Detroit Tigers return to Comerica Park for a six-game homestand before the All-Star break. (And they're back in the eastern time zone! Hooray for night-time, post-game blogging at a reasonable hour!) The Kansas City Royals come to town winners of two straight, having done the Tigers a favor by defeating the Chicago White Sox in those games.
Gil Meche starts for K.C., having lost his past three starts. In his last outing, however, he held the Twins to two earned runs over six innings (despite tying a season-high with five walks). The Tigers knocked Meche around at Kauffman Stadium on Memorial Day, chasing him from the game after just 2.1 innings. But he's pitched well in Detroit. At Comerica Park, Meche is 5-1 with a 3.34 ERA in 12 starts.
The bad news about Armando Galarraga's last start is that he walked six Oakland batters in 6.1 innings of work. (Jim Leyland was not happy about that.) But the good news is that Galarraga held the A's to one run while allowing only two hits. He also struck out five batters for the second straight appearance, his highest totals in that category since April. But Galarraga lived dangerously with those six walks (the most he's issued all season), and a better team likely would've punished him for those mistakes. In three career starts against the Royals, he has a 2-0 record and 1.80 ERA.
Royals Review as your SB Nation opposing view for this three-game series.
Have you cast your All-Star vote(s) for Brandon Inge this evening? He's currently second (a close second) behind Ian Kinsler - who got to play on ESPN last night - in Final Vote balloting.
UPDATE: Here are your starting lineups:

Brandon Inge is currently in 2ND PLACE in voting
PLEASE, if we all vote at least 100X tonight (not as time consuming as it sounds) that should be at least a couple thousand more votes.
It’s so close, only a few more days…DON’T GIVE UP!!
Evening, everyone!
I probably won’t be around (here) for the game (though I’ll be pulling very, very hard for a good performance from Galarraga), but I wanted to drop off my contribution to the Inge campaign:
Have fun tonight!

Vote Inge!
I am going to vote during every commercial break during the game along with all the times I voted last night and this morning.
I just got an hour and a half straight in
My eyes are starting to go cross eyed so I had to take a little break. Keep voting everyone!!!
Back home
And with a chance to bury two division rivals. This should be a good week … it’ll be a great one if we can get Inge into the All Star game.

BINGE
I wonder if everyone has visions of Brandon striking out,for the last out of the world series.
I suspect most people outside Michigan and Missouri have forgotten the world series. Other than maybe some images of Tigers pitchers being unable to field the ball or throw it to a base properly.

Last Out...
i remember that. I also remember he had got on base as many times in the WS as Ordonez, Pudge, and Polanco combined.
That “made the last out” bit is silly. It’s all the other outs that cost them the series…
(And I still think that interference call was a bunch of…smudge).
howdy folks
didn’t think i’d make it home in time to watch the game. spent all day out by baraga drilling some old volcanic rocks for paleomagnetic studies.
I'm going to check on this.
But Inge probably has the most home games before the all-star break, which is a huge advantage. Home fans can stuff the ballot box. In fact, they should be required to vote at least once to get in.
Okay.
Figgins and Pena have the same amount of home games. No ones comes to Rays games, and nationally, no one should think Figgins is better at third.

thanks to Toyota of Wilmington’s “Just In Time” inventory. Who knew my car needed a Special Magical Cable for the battery? I have a lousy internet connection in the hotel which goes in and out, but I’ve been voting as I could all day.
So I need a win tonight, boys, not that I’ll be able to watch it well with this connection.
Is that an actual nickname?
Because if it is, I want to vote for whoever that is. I’ve been casting my NL votes for Shane Victorino because I think “Shane” is a funny name.

okay pitching overall
starting = excellent
