He picked up his first win of the season on Sunday in Oakland, as he surrendered three hits over 8 1/3 scoreless innings of his team's 1-0 win. Bedard, who was 6-4 in 15 st |

| (MySportsbook) - Justin Verlander tries once again for his first victory of the 2009 season when the Detroit Tigers kick off a nine-game road trip tonight with the first of three games against the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field. Verlander, who struggled through an 11-17 campaign a year ago, pitched well in his most recent trip to the hill Saturday against Texas, surrendering three runs (1 earned) and two hits in five innings. It was a far better performance than his initial outing, when he was roughed up |

Hoping for that same kind of run support tonight will be left-hander Matt Harrison, who lost his first start of the year to the Detroit Tigers. Harrison surrendered four runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings of that one, and he also walked five batters and struck out a pair.

| Detroit, MI (MySportsbook) - Armando Galarraga went 6 1/3 innings without giving up a run to help the Detroit Tigers blank the Chicago White Sox, 9-0, and split a rain-shortened two-game series. Galarraga (2-0) gave up just four hits and two walks, with five strikeouts, for the Tigers, who have won four of their last five games. "He had late life on his pitches," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland. "It was darting and moving late in the strike zone, probably just about the right time. He threw enough pitches |

| that the team is sniffing around Pedro Martinez to help the rotation. But, even if they did bring him in, Martinez wouldn't be ready for at least a month. Heck, the Tribe might be out of it by then. If you don't believe me take a look at last year's Detroit Tigers. Come to think of it, Cleveland's start is eerily similar to that of the 2008 Tigers. Everyone had Detroit contending for the postseason last year, but it got off to a brutal start, never recovered, and became the most expensive last- place team in |

Danks was brilliant in his season debut against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday, as he allowed three hits over six scoreless innings. However, he did not get a decision in his team's 2-1 loss that day. The left-hander, who will celebrate his 24th birthday on Wednesday, is 2-1 lifetime against the Tigers with a 4.00 |

The journeyman hurler will be making his first start in the majors since September 24, 2003, when then a member of the Detroit Tigers.
