Game 45: Tigers at Twins

First Pitch: 12:10PM CTD

TV: FSNO

Radio: WCCO 830, TIBN

Know Thine Enemy: Bless You Boys

Kyle Gibson (1-2, 3.96 ERA) has pitched pretty decent for the most part this year, but got roughed up in his last start against the Brewers. The Twins are still without Joe Mauer (neck,uncertain return date) and Miguel Sano, who is expected to return to the team on Friday.

Tigers starter Michael Fulmer has not been as effective as his rookie and sophomore seasons so far this year, but has shown improvements over his last few starts. He did pitch six scoreless innings in his last start against the Mariners, but was pulled after surrendering three runs in the 7th.
