After failing to produce much offense during their last trip to Safeco Field, the Detroit Tigers return this week without one of their best hitters. The Tigers, however, may not need many runs with Justin Verlander on the mound. Verlander looks to win a career-high fifth straight start when the Tigers, who are missing Miguel Cabrera, open a two-game set against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. Detroit begins the final series of a seven-game road trip after losing two of three to the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend. The Tigers, who began the trip by winning two over Oakland, avoided a sweep with a 6-2 win Sunday as Rick Porcello pitched six innings and Cabrera and Magglio Ordonez homered.Cabrera went 3 for 13 in the series and batted .179 over the last seven games, but he leads the team with 10 home runs and 40 RBIs. He will miss the next two games as his wife is scheduled to give birth to their second child.
Cabrera drove in five of Detroit’s nine runs when the club dropped two of three at Seattle from April 16-18. While the absence of Cabrera will put more pressure on the rest of the lineup, the Tigers may not have to score much if Verlander can continue his dominant pitching. The right-hander gave up one or no earned runs in four of his last five outings. He threw a four-hitter against the Athletics on Wednesday, striking out five in a 5-1 victory. Verlander has also been receiving plenty of offensive support, getting at least five runs in his last four starts. The Tigers’ ace has not been too successful against Seattle lately, however. He has lost his last three starts versus the Mariners, posting a 4.43 ERA to drop to 6-4 with a 3.41 ERA against them in his career. Verlander gave up three runs in seven innings of a 4-2 defeat April 17 in his most recent matchup with Seattle.
