Quick lineup bullet points:
- Joaquin Benoit will be the closer. Jose Valverde has the night off, as Tuesday was Potato's 4th appearance in the past 5 games.
-
Andy Dirks left hamstring is still an issue, he has the night off to rest it. Dirks is available to pinch hit, if needed.
- Brennan Boesch is 7-12 against Mariners' starter Jason Vargas.
- A catcher leading off for the Mariners? Isn't that a violation of some sort of unwritten baseball rule?
- Former Tiger Casper Wells gets a start...and Alli smiles.
-
Alex Liddi, Tiger Killer, is back in the lineup for the Mariners. He was 6-13 with 2 HR and 4 RBI in 3 games against the Tigers at Comerica Park.
- .189 hitting Chone Figgins gets a spot start, which hopefully cancels out Liddi.
