Rookie Michael Fulmer takes the mound as the Tigers start a crucial three-game weekend series in Cleveland against the Indians.
The series is a must-win for the Tigers, who play the Indians seven more times and are two games out of the second American League wild-card spot, after being dealt a crushing 5-1 loss and splitting the four-game series with the Twins.
Fulmer, a contender for AL rookie of the year, hopes to "keep rolling" in what is the biggest Tigers' game of the season so far.
The Tigers' season has been fulls of ups and downs and Detroit has lost five of their last seven in the thick of a playoff race.
