Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Detroit: Daniel Norris (2-2, 4.55 ERA)<br />
Los Angeles: Nolasco (2-2, 4.31 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Daniel Norris gets the call for the Tigers tonight and in his last start he was not sharp giving up four earned runs in only four innings in a 8-6 loss to the Oakland A’s. Detroit has lost three of his last four starts where he gave up four earned runs in each game and in the lone win in that span it was at home beating the Cleveland Indians 7-1 where Norris only gave up one earned run in six innings of work. Since his first start of the season Norris has not lasted past the 6th inning. This game will be his first career start against the Angels. The Tigers have won five of Norris’ last seven road starts, but those two losses have come in his last two road starts.

Ricky Nolasco gets the start for the Angels tonight and he had a pretty good last outing going seven innings and giving up two earned runs, but he did not get much support in a 3-2 loss to the Oakland A’s. After winning two in a row with him on the hill L.A. has lost Nolasco’s last two starts where he has gone 11 innings and given up six earned runs. This will be his first start against a team outside the AL West and in nine career starts against the Tigers he is 2-4 with an ERA of 4.09. The Angels have won four of Nolasco’s last five home starts.
