(AP) -- Anibal Sanchez has been tough to score on in winning three interleague home starts with the Detroit Tigers. His opponent is a pitcher who has a 3-12 record as a starter, with no wins in his last six. Sanchez figures to have an edge over the Milwaukee Brewers' Jimmy Nelson in Tuesday night's matchup. Detroit (23-16) seeks to even this three-game series behind Sanchez (3-4, 4.76 ERA), who has yielded one run in 22 innings in his interleague home starts with the Tigers. He matched a season high with nine strikeouts Thursday and gave up one run over eight innings in a 13-1 win over Minnesota. The right-hander hasn't faced the Brewers with the Tigers, going 2-1 with a 5.30 ERA in seven starts against them during his career with Miami. The hitter he will be concerned about facing is Gerardo Parra, who is 8 for 14 against him including a 3-for-3 effort last year with Arizona. Parra, batting .308, has been out of the starting lineup for the last two games and did not play in Monday's 3-2 victory. The Tigers will get their first look at Nelson (1-4, 4.22), who is 0-4 with a 5.05 ERA in six outings since winning his season debut April 11 over Pittsburgh. Nelson has dropped consecutive starts, yielding four runs in each of them. He lasted 6 2-3 innings in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox. The right-hander has allowed five homers in his last 13 2-3 innings after surrendering one in his first 29. He'll be up against a pair of Detroit batters enjoying nine-game hitting streaks. J.D. Martinez is hitting .406 during his streak while Jose Iglesias is at .333 in his run. Miguel Cabrera is 10 for 24 during a six-game streak, though he bats .206 with one homer in night games compared to .452 with nine homers during the day. Detroit has totaled three runs while going 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position in consecutive losses.
he has to get back in the lineup or it'll really be an uphill climb. knee tendinitis is bad especially at his age, hes had multiple surgeries on that left knee and for a switch hitter thats a problem. you just took the teeth out of the shark. His power numbers are way down and you can see he doesnt want to put pressure on it and its sapping him of all his power. hes looking for gap hits and changing his strategy thats been a great one since day 1. Im really worried here, we need some pen help already and now we may be without our second best weapon. if Im D Brow I sit him as long as needed, we need him for the stretch run. if he doesnt come back......eff that he has to come back. JV and Rondon doing well in bullpen sessions, they are also key to this teams success. I almost feel bad for Illitch, hes loyal to a fault and dont have any problems with the contracts hes given out to these guys but bottom line is for what JV is making at the very least he needs to be taking his turn on the bump. at this point Im highly skeptical that Verlander will get back to anything close to what he was. he pitches cautious and lost the gas, thats as big of a red flag as a pitcher can have. hes thrown a ton of innings and I think its caught up to him in a hurry
