Indians head to the Motor City

The Indians open a four game set in Comerica Park. It will be a daunting task when having to face sluggers like Chris Shelton, Magglio Ordonez, and Dmitri Young.

Shelton has been hitting the tar out of the baseball this year with a whopping 1.835 OPS and a 1.297 slugging percentage in 37 at-bats. With his seven homers in the Tigers's nine games, he seems to be the temporary young leader for this team with a fair amount of promise, at least offensively.

Magglio Ordonez, also called "Maggs," has been a force offensively and the Tigers have high hopes for this 31 year-old slugger. He has hit three home runs and seven RBI's this year. Maggs proved himself with his tenure with the Chicago White Sox, where he was able to hit at least thirty home runs from 1999-2002.

Jake Westbrook will face Kenny Rogers, the roughian who punched that camera guy, in a battle tonight in Detroit. Westbrook, with a record of 2-0 and a 1.98 ERA, will hopefully show him who the real star of the show is tonight.

The Indians have been able to produce runs in recent outings, knocking in 19 runs in the three games against the Mariners.
