Detroit Tigers (24-29) at Minnesota Twins (28-25), 8:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Detroit - Mike Maroth (4-3, 4.41) Minnesota - Kyle Lohse (2-4, 5.87)
(Sports Network) - Kyle Lohse will try and get the Minnesota Twins back on the winning track this evening when they kick off a three-game set with the Detroit Tigers at the Metrodome.
Lohse has struggled this season, but enters tonight's tilt following a win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. In that contest the 25-year-old righty allowed three runs - two earned - on nine hits over five innings to improve to 2-4 on the year, while lowering his earned run average 5.87.
In eight lifetime matchups with the Tigers, Lohse is 5-1 with a 4.20 ERA.
Minnesota dropped three of four to the Devil Rays, including a 5-2 loss in Thursday's series finale. Lew Ford homered and Henry Blanco drove in a run for the struggling Twins, who have dropped two straight and 12 of their last 18 games.
Minnesota starter Johan Santana was flirting with a no-hitter until the sixth inning. Santana (2-4) lost control and his fourth straight decision, yielding four runs on four hits in 7 2/3 innings. He walked four and fanned seven.
The Twins, who are in the midst of a 13-game stretch at home, are 15-11 at home this season.
Detroit, meanwhile, split its four-game series with the Kansas City Royals, but lost Thursday's finale. 9-6. Carlos Guillen and Craig Monroe each had two runs batted in for the Tigers, who have dropped eight of their last 11 contests.
Jeremy Bonderman (4-5) suffered the loss after surrendering seven runs on nine hits in three-plus innings. He walked three and fanned four.
The Tigers will pin their hopes tonight on Mike Maroth, who has lost his last two decisions and is 4-3 on the year with a 4.41 ERA. However, he is coming off a no-decision in his last outing, despite a great effort. In that contest the 26-year-old lefthander allowed an unearned run on six hits in seven innings.
Maroth, who received a no-decision against the Twins earlier in the year, has faced the Twins eight times in his career and is 2-5 against them with a 4.24 ERA.
Detroit is 12-13 away from home this season.
Minnesota has split its six games with the Tigers this season, but is 47-15 against them since the start of the 2001 campaign. The Twins have also posted a 27-4 mark at home versus Detroit in that time.

Ron Gardenhire Readies Twins to Face Hurler Maroth The Twins and Coach Ron Gardenhire are 145 favorites to roll to victory Friday against the Tigers.
The Tigers starts Mike Maroth, 4-3, 4.41 ERA. His last trip was a no decision, a 7-3 team loss against the Orioles, when he threw 7 innings, allowing 1 runs on 6 hits. The lefty last threw against the Twins on April 22, 2004 coming away with a loss. He allowed 8 hits in 7 innings, giving up 4 in that one.
Minnesota brings a 28-25 overall mark (16-12 in the division) into this game vs. a Detroit team carrying a 24-29 Record.
The Twins are favored slightly by the bookmakers, who opened the game at -145. They are 28-25 on the season, while the Tigers bring a 24-29 mark to the table. The total has been set at 9.5.
Last time out, at Comerica Park against Kansas City, the Tigers as favorites lost to the Royals 9-6. That game was an over play.
The Twins, meanwhile, will try to forget their 5-2 loss at the hands of the Devil Rays, a game where they were favorites by 175 on the moneyline. The total score went under the total.
Minnesota pitchers are charitable with the baserunners, giving up more hits per game than just about every team in the league. The Tigers hitters could see good pitches to hit today.
Some trends to consider:
Detroit are 1-7-0 SU in their last 8 games after scoring 4 to 6 runs
Detroit are 2-7-1 OU in their last 10 away
Detroit are 6-13-2 OU in their last 21 games
Detroit are 6-3-0 OU in their last 9 games away against Minnesota
Minnesota are 10-2-0 OU in their last 12 games against Detroit
Minnesota are 7-3-0 SU in their last 10 games after scoring 1 to 3 runs
Minnesota are 6-3-0 OU in their last 9 games at home against Detroit
Minnesota are 2-7-1 OU in their last 10 games
