Detroit is coming off an 8-6 victory against the Indians, their second-straight win following a four-game losing streak in which they were outscored 33-8. Minnesota edged the Mariners 4-2 and is now 6-4 in their last 10 games following a 2-6 start.
The Tigers dominated this matchup three weeks ago sweeping the Twins in a three-game series and outscoring them 22-1 in the process.
Price is coming off his worst outing of the year as he allowed 8 earned runs in a 13-4 loss to the Yankees. Milone wasn’t sharp in his last outing either, giving up 4 earned runs in 5.2 innings in a loss to the Royals. The Tigers are 3-1 in Price’s starts while the Twins are 2-1 in Milone’s starts.

Detroit starter David Price has great historical numbers against the Twins and carried that into this season with a super solid 8 2/3 innings of shutout ball. He did show cracks in the armour in his last start getting ripped for 8 runs in 2 1/3 and will have to prove that it was just a blip tonight. Millone started season well pitching 7 2/3 scoreless against the White Sox but has looked very ordinary in his last two which were both against the Royals. He’ll need to prove that he can handle a top ranked lineup tonight.
