Armando Galarraga’s last start against the Cleveland Indians featured a major controversy, with umpire Jim Joyce blowing a call that cost the pitcher a perfect game. Galarraga is trying to put another kind of controversy behind him heading into this rematch. He’ll face the Indians at home again after getting into an argument with catcher Alex Avila during his last start when the Detroit Tigers open a three-game set Friday night. On June 2, Galarraga came within one out of a perfect game when Joyce called Jason Donald safe at first base after a grounder. Replays showed that Donald was out. Galarraga was praised for his sportsmanship in the aftermath of the call, meeting Joyce at home plate the next day when the teams exchanged lineups to help console the embattled umpire.

Detroit has won 12 of 15 at home against Cleveland, but it was a four-game road series against the Indians that began the club’s slide. The Tigers were one-half game out of first place at the All-Star break before being swept by the Indians from July 16-18. Miguel Cabrera had two singles in 14 at-bats in that series. He went 11 for 25 with two homers and seven RBIs to help Detroit win six of its first eight against Cleveland. Cabrera has hit five homers in his last five games. Three of them came in Detroit’s last two contests, but that wasn’t enough to keep the Tigers from losing the final three games of a four-game set to New York. They fell 11-5 on Thursday after yielding nine runs in the sixth inning.
