On the other hand the Tigers are the #1 hitting team in baseball with a .292 average. They're #7 in the league in homeruns and #1 in RBI's. They'll be facing Kevin Millwood who has a record of 4-6 and a 7.31 ERA. Teams are hitting .331 off of him this year. On the 6th of June the Tigs bombed him to the tune of 9 hits and 7 ER's in just 3.2 innings of work.
Kenny Rogers takes the hill tonight for the Tigers after a very good performance last week. He only gave up 2 hits in six innings of work but it's only one start.
