The Tigers are 49 on the season and are trying to snap a fivegame losing skid
The Tigers resume a 10-game homestand as they host the Baltimore Orioles in the first of a three-game set tonight at Comerica Park.
Francisco Liriano will get the start for Detroit and Baltimore sends Andrew Cashner to the mound.
The Tigers are 4-9 on the season and are trying to snap a five-game losing skid while the Orioles have dropped their last three games and have a 5-11 record.
Meanwhile, the summer-long celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 1968 World Series champion Detroit Tigers is officially underway.
The Tigers started the recognition of the team with a luncheon yesterday that included a panel discussion with Al Kaline, Willie Horton and Jim Price.
The anniversary will be noted with promotions throughout the season, culminating with the Tigers hosting the St. Louis Cardinals for a three-game series in early September.
Detroit beat St. Louis in seven games in the 1968 World Series.
