--- AT --- 07/01/2008 12:59 AM ET Tigers look to Pudge to starve stealersDetroit (42-40) at Minnesota (45-38), Tuesday, 8:10 p.m. ETBy Thor Nystrom / MLB.com MINNEAPOLIS -- Rockies burner Willy Taveras entered Saturday's contest against the Tigers leading the majors with 36 steals. He had been caught only twice. But in the next two days, against a separate pair of Tigers battery mates, he was held without a theft while being caught stealing on each day. "Obviously, we have a great throwing catcher, and our times are pretty good home," manager Jim Leyland said. "And if you throw it accurate, he ain't gonna steal it." In the third inning on Saturday, Taveras was gunned down on an attempted steal with Ivan Rodriguez at catcher and Justin Verlander on the mound; the Tigers won, 7-6. On Sunday, in the fourth inning, Taveras was again thrown out trying to run, this time with Dane Sardinha at catcher and Kenny Rogers pitching; the Tigers won, 4-3."We knew he was going to go at some point for sure," Leyland said. "There is a lot to be said about not outrunning the ball -- you can't do it." The Tigers will face a similar speed threat in the next two games against Minnesota. Twins center fielder Carlos Gomez is considered to be one of the fastest players in the game. He is not yet at Taveras' level as a baserunner, however -- Gomez has 21 steals and has been thrown out eight times this season. Gomez was able to steal third base in the fifth inning on Monday with Rodriguez behind the plate and Armando Galarraga on the mound."You got a kid here that is still learning, but he can fly, this kid here can absolutely fly," Leyland said of Gomez. "I don't know who is faster, but this guy can fly, and Taveras can absolutely fly." Leyland said Rodriguez, who has gunned down 16 runners this year, will probably get a rest in one of the next two games against Minnesota. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire is cognizant of Rodriguez's arm strength, saying before Monday's game: "Pudge is as good as they get. He's a Gold Glover and a future Hall of Famer. You've got a guy that can still throw the ball. The reports are that he's throwing everywhere, like we've always known. He'll throw behind the bases, throw behind at first, throw behind at third. So you have to be aware with him out there. He's a solid defensive player. Our game is running, too. So we'll try to get situations and try to get breaking balls. We'll see what happens. It makes it interesting going into the series." Pitching matchupDET: LHP Nate Robertson (6-6, 5.23 ERA)Robertson, one of the Tigers' most consistent pitchers during their recent hot streak, allowed no earned runs for the second time in three starts on Thursday, though he wiggled out of trouble all afternoon. He allowed a season-high 11 hits in 6 1/3 innings, but stranded 10 runners (four in scoring position) with the help of key strikeouts and double plays. He kept the ball down, which translated into 11 of his 14 outs coming on the ground. In two starts against the Twins this season, he has allowed seven runs on 13 hits in 12 2/3 innings. MIN: RHP Scott Baker (4-2, 3.57 ERA)Some early troubles plagued Baker in his last start as he gave up three runs over his first three innings to the Padres. But while it wasn't the prettiest of outings, Baker managed to settle down to hold them to just those three runs on six hits over six innings. The Twins are still hoping to see Baker's pitch counts go down, as he threw 101 over that span. Next up for Baker will be his third start of the year against Detroit. He is 0-0, having allowed just four runs over 10 innings in the first two starts. He's had success at the Metrodome this season, going 2-0 with a 2.28 ERA in five starts there. TidbitsSaid Leyland of the White Sox : "They are doing good. Obliviously, that's why they are five games ahead of us and [1 1/2] in front of Minnesota -- been leading most of the year." ... Leyland was happy for Jim Thome, who hit the 522nd home run of his career on Sunday, passing Willie McCovey and Ted Williams for 16th on the all-time list: "He's one of the all-time great guys in the game. Very professional, all the way. Comes to beat your butt. Will talk to you before the game and tries to kick your butt during the game. That's what he's supposed to do."
