| DETROIT -- After a couple of brushes with the White Sox and Royals, the Tigers head into their first big divisional stretch over the next two weeks. They're hoping their bats come along with them.The good news for the Tigers as they await the Indians this weekend at Comerica Park is that Armando Galarraga starts the opener with a track record of silencing Cleveland's offense. Three of his 13 wins last season came at the Tribe's expense, including his first Major League victory at Progressive Field on April 16, 2008.The problem, and the big worry for manager Jim Leyland the past few days, is that his own offense hasn't exactly done much recently.Take away Wednesday's five-run ninth inning in a game that was already out of hand, Detroit's formidable lineup managed just four runs in its first 25 innings off the Yankees' previously struggling pitching staff. It was shut out for the first time all year on Tuesday, and it had two low-offense outings in three games in Kansas City over the weekend. As Leyland lamented Wednesday's 8-6 loss in the rubber match against the Yankees, he tried to not make a big deal about it, even as he admitted the Tigers have to get going."They'll hit. They always have," Leyland said.They'll try to do so against a pitcher who was nearly a Tiger.Four years have passed since Detroit targeted Carl Pavano on the free-agent market. Then coming off an 18-win season with the 2004 Marlins, Pavano embarked on a whirlwind tour of suitors that included a stop in Detroit and a visit with Tigers brass. Financially, the Tigers made a competitive shot to put Pavano in their uniform. As it turned out, Pavano had his heart set on the Yankees once they got involved in the bidding. What has happened since then makes it seem like 12 years ago rather than four. Pavano is now at the back end of the Indians' rotation, trying to resurrect a career that injuries derailed soon after he arrived in New York. The Tigers, meanwhile, head into the series with a man who arguably might be their staff ace, who was a Minor League trade acquisition a year ago. They'll try to give him the run support to become Detroit's first four-game winner. "We've had a couple games," Leyland said before Wednesday's game, "but we really haven't hit the way we're capable of hitting. Some of that's due to the pitching against you, and some of it's due to [the fact that] we just haven't hit. ... We have to get some consistency going in our offense." Pitching matchupDET: RHP Armando Galarraga (3-0, 1.85 ERA)Galarraga allowed just three hits over six innings in his last start in Kansas City, but he wasn't happy about issuing five walks. He said he will be working on his mechanics so that walks won't be a problem as he goes forward. Galarraga made the big pitch when he needed it in Kansas City, and perhaps it's a good sign for the Tigers that he could hold the Royals to just one run despite those mechanical issues. CLE: RHP Carl Pavano (0-3, 9.50 ERA)Pavano has the ball for the first of a seven-game road trip. The Twins hit Pavano hard in his last start, scoring five runs on 11 hits and a walk in five-plus innings. Pavano, who has spent a good deal of his career in the National League, has never faced the Tigers. He will go against a former teammate in Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera, who was a part of the Florida Marlins' 2003 World Series championship team, along with Pavano. Tidbits... Brandon Inge has reached base safely in all 21 games this season, including his third-inning walk on Wednesday. It ties his 21-game streak to start the 2005 campaign, and it's tied for the seventh-longest such streak by a Tiger since 1954. Alan Trammell was the last with a longer one, reaching base safely in his first 24 games in 1990. ... Leyland said Wednesday he's hoping to have Carlos Guillen available in left field on Friday. Guillen has been the designated hitter in his last five games while he deals with Achilles tendinitis in his right foot. ... Josh Anderson has a 12-game hitting streak, during which he's batting .400 (14-for-35).
