--- AT --- 08/17/2008 7:45 PM ET Rogers returning to familiar settingDetroit (60-64) at Texas (62-62), Monday, 8:05 p.m. ETBy Jason Beck / MLB.com DETROIT -- Kenny Rogers is making a return to Texas on Monday. The Tigers are hoping he sticks around for a long while on the mound. After giving up 30 runs in three games against the Orioles, the challenge doesn't get any easier for Detroit's pitching staff as it embarks on a week-long road trip. Rangers Ballpark at Arlington has always been a place for a lot of damage for the Tigers, including the 2004 game in which they scored eight runs in the top half of the fifth inning and gave up 10 in the bottom. The Tigers put up some similar offensive numbers in their meetings with the Rangers at Comerica Park in April, outscoring them by a 37-8 margin in a three-game sweep. That dropped the Rangers to 7-16 for the season and extended their season-long losing streak to seven games. Now, Detroit goes to Texas to face a Rangers club hovering around the .500 mark. Just as scary for the Tigers at this point, Texas will welcome Detroit with an offense that entered Sunday leading the Majors in scoring, total bases, slugging percentage, OPS and doubles, while ranking near the top in hits on-base percentage and total pitches seen."That team's really a heck of an offensive team," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. It's a particularly dangerous combination for the Tigers, given their recent pitching woes. "We don't have anything set right now at all," Leyland said on Sunday morning. "Our bullpen is in total disarray. It has been all year."Leyland expressed those sentiments before Sunday's 16-8 loss, in which the Orioles scored 11 runs off Tigers relievers, but after the team placed Todd Jones on the disabled list with a sore right shoulder. Later, Leyland was without Kyle Farnsworth, whose lower back flared up on Saturday and worsened overnight. Farnsworth is considered day-to-day, but expects to be available for Monday's series opener."I felt it a little bit worse yesterday, and it was a little worse today," Farnsworth said. "They said to rather knock it out now instead of trying to go out there and pitch and make it worse." Whether the Tigers can get him a lead going into the late innings is another story. That will come down largely to how well Rogers pitches in the ballpark he called home for much of his big league career after the Rangers drafted him in the 39th round of the 1982 First-Year Player Draft. Rogers has made just one start at Texas since leaving the Rangers for the Tigers as a free agent after the 2005 season, and it came in his second start as a Tiger back in 2006. With five runs allowed on 12 hits over 5 1/3 innings, he ended up taking the loss. Rogers ended up with a 10-5 road record that season, but he has generally struggled away from Comerica Park over the past two years. His 5.40 ERA in 14 starts on the road ranks roughly a full run higher than his ERA in Detroit to go with a higher OPS at .844. Pitching matchupDET: LHP Kenny Rogers (8-10, 4.95 ERA)Rogers surrendered at least four runs for the fourth straight start his last time out, which a rain delay ended with one out in the seventh inning. He looked sharp in every inning but the fourth. A bad hop gave the Blue Jays the bases loaded with nobody out, and Vernon Wells knocked a grand slam to left. Overall, Rogers allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings. He has allowed a total of 19 runs in his past four starts, all of them losses. TEX: RHP Scott Feldman (4-5, 5.18 ERA)Feldman -- 0-2 in his past four starts -- didn't lose his last time out in Boston, but it was his roughest start of the season. He allowed 12 runs, six earned, on 10 hits and three walks in just 2 2/3 innings as his ERA spiked from 4.82. Feldman will be looking to start Texas' series with Detroit out on the right foot. Feldman, who hasn't faced the Tigers this season, has a 7.71 ERA against them in seven career innings. TidbitsMichael Young is 11-for-19 in his career against Rogers, with four doubles, a home run and five RBIs. ... Look for Gary Glover to be available for a good amount of work if the Tigers need him. Detroit purchased his contract from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday morning, but he was not used in Sunday's 16-8 loss to Baltimore. ... Edgar Renteria's four-hit game Sunday improved his average to .375 (30-for-88) over his past 24 games. ... Leyland said on Sunday morning that he does not expect the Tigers to swing any deals in the coming weeks with the team struggling to make up ground in the playoff race. "I would be shocked if the Tigers made a trade," Leyland said.

| Interesting facts on Rogers, according to the Rangers announcers - Kenny was a position player in HS and had never pitched. The scouts saw him throw the ball, liked what they saw, and signed him as a possible pitcher. | |

Hi Lap Hey Mario had mentioned his squinting, and he's right! Wonder if he is having a problem...and why wouldn't he get anything done about it? Nate needs Lasix instead of messing with those glasses all the time. | |

Hi Lap Hey
Mario had mentioned his squinting, and he's right! Wonder if he is having a problem...and why wouldn't he get anything done about it? Nate needs Lasix instead of messing with those glasses all the time. That could explain some of his fielding.... and yes, Nate really needs something, just don't know if that is all Nate needs! | |
