<st1:City w:st="on">Cleveland</st1:City> and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Detroit</st1:place></st1:City> were expected to battle for the American League Central Division title this season but it is now June and both teams are still struggling. The Tigers can’t hit and the Indians can’t pitch. Neither of those two things was supposed to be a problem for either team. "If this club, up to this point, had hit like it was expected to, we'd be close to being in first place right now, in my opinion," <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Detroit</st1:place></st1:City> manager Jim Leyland said. "We've lost one game after another, shut out, 1-0, score two runs, one run, score four runs [Tuesday] night with 22 baserunners. That's just not acceptable. That's just the way it is. Once again, it's not a criticism. It's just the facts. If this club was doing anywhere near what it's supposed to be doing offensively, we'd be probably in third place for sure, and not very far out of first, in my opinion." <o:p></o:p>

The Tigers are near the bottom of the American League Central and the Indians are not doing much better in third place. <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Detroit</st1:place></st1:City> is playing a critical homestand as they are home for 10 straight days. It is critical that the Tigers make up some ground on Cleveland who they play this weekend and the White Sox who they host next week. The Tigers face Aaron Laffey on Saturday. He is 3-3 with a 3.02 ERA this season. Laffey had his first bad outing of the season on Monday against the Rangers, giving up eight runs on 11 hits in just five innings. He has never faced the Tigers in his career. He will be opposed by Kenny Rogers who is 4-4 on the season and has an ERA of 5.54. <st1:City w:st="on">Rogers</st1:City> pitched well in his last start on Monday against the Athletics and he is 4-2 against <st1:City w:st="on">Cleveland</st1:City> in his <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Detroit</st1:place></st1:City> career.<o:p></o:p>
