PREVIEW





Pitching matchup

TIGERS: LHP Andy Oliver (0-2, 5.93 ERA)
Oliver fell victim to inconsistent command and bad defense behind him in a loss at Minnesota last week, but Jim Leyland likes the idea of pitting his lone lefty starter against Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau. Oliver was knocked out in the second inning of his last start.


TWINS: RHP Carl Pavano (9-6, 3.58 ERA)
The Twins flip-flopped Pavano and fellow starter Kevin Slowey in the last turn of the rotation. It allowed the club to get an extra start before the All-Star break from its most consistent starter.
