Tigers @ White Sox; June 06-08

[H1Man]

Detroit (37-20) at Chicago White Sox (34-22)

Nate Robertson, LHP (5-3, 3.42) @ Freddy Garcia, RHP (7-3, 4.57)

Scouting Report:
Robertson gave up six runs over 8 2/3 innings Wednesday, ending a personal seven-game unbeaten streak, but he had a 2-0 duel going into the eighth of what ended up being a frustrating loss. He had a face-to-face argument with umpire Ted Barrett on his way out of the game and went into a lengthy self-defense with reporters afterwards. Whether the frustration affects him in Chicago will be an interesting factor.

After setting a single-season personal record by winning seven straight, the big right-hander has lost his last two starts against Toronto and Cleveland. The good news for Garcia is that he finished the month of May with a 3-2 record and issued only one free pass over 41 1/3 innings, while fanning 23. But Garcia has allowed 10 runs on 20 hits in his last 11 2/3 innings. Garcia has a 1-0 record against Detroit in 2006 and carries a 12-5 career mark when facing the Tigers into Tuesday's all-important series opener in Chicago.

Absolutely horrible loss.

Had Polanco showed up tonight (at tha plate and in the field), this game would've been ours. For the 2nd straight start, Robertson's effort is wasted.
