The Motor City Kitties returned home after a week in the Windy City that culminated with a rousing four game sweep of the woeful Chicago White Sox and a return to .500 for the first time this late in a season in...let’s not talk about it. This week they’re playing host to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim who, like the White Sox, are division bottom-dwellers, entering play with a 54-77 record, a five game losing streak, and a -123 run differential.
The Angels put out the ancient (38) right-hander Johnny Cueto, who was a minor league free agent of the Rangers this season, opted out after not making the majors, and ended up with the Angels.
