| GDT: 7/9/10 - DET (46-37) VS MIN (45-40) - 7:05 p.m. ET --- VS --- Detroit Tigers VS Minnesota TwinsFriday, July 9, 2010Comerica Park, Detroit, MIGame Time - 7:05 p.m. EDT______________________________________ Liriano, Verlander take center stage at ComericaBy Jesse Sanchez / MLB.com The talent will be on display from both sides of the mound when the Twins and Tigers square off in an AL Central showdown Friday at Comerica Park. Minnesota will send lefty Francisco Liriano to the hill. The Tigers will counter with right-hander Justin Verlander. Here's what else is right: the hitters will be ready. Or at least they should be. "We have a lot of respect for them. They play hard and they play the game the right way," Detroit's Brandon Inge said. "That's why we want to beat them even more." In his last start against the Rays on Saturday, Liriano fanned 10 batters and walked only one. That is the most strikeouts he has had this season since retiring 11 on June 11. Overall, he pitched seven innings and gave up only one run on four hits. As for Verlander, his curveball was the key to his success in his last outing against the Mariners. The curve, combined with his 95-mph plus fastball, proved to be too tough for the Mariners to lay off, as the ace earned his 10th win. "On paper, it looks like a heckuva matchup Friday night: Liriano against Verlander," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "That's pretty good. If I was a fan, I'd be interested in that. It's pretty neat." Verlander is 7-3 with a 3.44 ERA in his last 10 starts. He's racked up 61 strikeouts during that span. "It looks like the Twins or us or the White Sox will be in the first place, so everybody's kind of excited," Leyland said. "Who's going to be in first place at the break? Not that it means anything, but if it means something to them, that's fine. You want them to be pumped up. Twins fans are pumped up when we go up there, and our fans are pumped up when anybody comes here, it seems like to me." Twins: Gardenhire leaves Mauer aloneTwins manager Ron Gardenhire said that he doesn't worry about Joe Mauer, and also doesn't try to give him any sort of hitting advice, either. "It's kind of like talking to the President about running the country," Gardenhire said. "Joe hits pretty good. I don't think really personally -- and I love baseball and I know a little bit about this and that -- but I don't think I can help his swing. I think he's pretty good." ... The Twins are hoping that fans will recognize what Delmon Young has done this year and that it translates into votes for the outfielder until balloting for the Final Vote comes to an end on Thursday at 3 p.m. CT. Tigers: Cabrera enjoying hot streakMiguel Cabrera is riding a season-best 16-game hitting streak. He went 2-for-3 in Detroit's 4-2 win against the O's on Wednesday. ... The Tigers have won 15 of their last 17 games at home. Overall, the club is 30-12 at Comerica Park this season. ... Jose Valverde has converted 18 consecutive saves, the eighth longest season streak in franchise history. ... The Tigers announced deals on Wednesday with sixth-round pick, catcher Bryan Holaday, left-handed pitcher Alex Burgos, the fifth-round pick, and seventh-rounder Corey Jones. ... Armando Galarraga, who was optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday, is slated to make only one start for Toledo, and that won't come until next Thursday. The Mud Hens are on the road for now until Saturday. For now, Galarraga is remaining with the big league club. Worth notingThe second annual Elvis Night at Comerica Park is scheduled for Friday. Elvis tribute artist Darrin Hagel will perform the national anthem prior to the start of the game and will lead in the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch. ... Former Twins player Tom Brunansky has joined the Gulf Coast League as a coach. ... Twins farmhand Anthony Slama will replace Liam Hendricks at the All-Star Futures Game. Hendricks had an appendectomy. ... Minnesota is 19-10 in the division and 19-22 on the road this season. ______________________________________ Pitching matchup TIGERS: RHP Justin Verlander (10-5, 3.85 ERA)A win Friday would give Verlander 11 before the All-Star break for the first time in his career. Considering his first victory this year didn't come until April 22, it's quite a feat. He has rolled off five wins in his last six starts and nine in his last 12. TWINS: LHP Francisco Liriano (6-6, 3.32 ERA) Liriano put up good numbers in his last start against the Rays on Saturday. The lefty fanned 10 batters and walked only one. That is the most strikeouts he has had this season since retiring 11 on June 11. He pitched seven innings and gave up only one run on four hits. ______________________________________ From MLB Tigers Game NotesINJURY UPDATE: RHP Zach Miner(right elbow tendinitis, 60-day DL on March 26), LHP Bobby Seay (left shoulder strain, 60-day DL on March 26), RHP Joel Zumaya (non-displaced fracture of the olecranon, 60-day DL on June 29). ______________________________________ To track MLB play-by-play, to help post GDT outcomes: http://m.mlb.com/scores/On the Internet MLB.TV Gameday Audio• Gameday• Official Press Pass game notesOn television • On radio• , • XM Channel Schedule• Direct TV Extra Innings Schedule______________________________________ Up next (Probable Pitchers)• Saturday, July 10TIGERS (RHP Jeremy Bonderman (4-6, 4.81 ERA)) VS TWINS (RHP Nick Blackburn (7-6, 6.00 ERA)), 4:10 p.m. ET (FOX / AM 1270 & 97.1 FM)• Sunday, July 11TIGERS (LHP Andy Oliver (0-2, 5.93 ERA)) VS TWINS (RHP Carl Pavano (9-6, 3.58 ERA)), 1:05 p.m. ET (FS-D HD / AM 1270 & 97.1 FM)
