Just when it looked like Detroit figured something out on Monday, the bats went quiet again on Tuesday. The Tigers have been held to 3 runs or less in six of their last seven games. Now they face Gray, who has a 2.73 ERA on the season with a 3-1 record. The Tigers counter with Verlander, but he has just a 5.79 ERA and has been giving up runs early in games. Look for Detroit to fall behind early and not catch up tonight.
