Pitching matchup

TIGERS: RHP Rick Porcello (4-8, 5.55 ERA)
Porcello still isn't getting the consistent results he enjoyed last year, but he's a work in progress. He tossed a quality start against Toronto on Saturday, but with four walks and five hits over six innings, he was in and out of trouble every other inning.

RAYS: LHP David Price (13-5, 2.90 ERA)
Price allowed three earned runs on three hits and four walks against the Indians on Saturday to earn his 13th win of the season. He is 1-0 with a 0.90 ERA in three career appearances against the Tigers; he is 14-4 with a 2.52 ERA in 21 career appearances at Tropicana.
