GDT: 6/30/12 - DET (37-40) AT TB (41-36) - 7:15 p.m. ET

Tigers: RHP Rick Porcello ((5-5, 4.71 ERA)

What happens when one of baseball's young sinkerballers meets an offense that tends to do more with less? Surprisingly, they produce a lot of fly balls over three career meetings. Porcello won the last one with seven innings of two-run ball April 10.



Rays: RHP Jeremy Hellickson (4-3, 3.45 ERA)

Hellickson will return from the 15-day DL (right shoulder inflammation) for his first start since June 14, when he gave up eight runs in just 3 2/3 innings against the Mets. Hellickson owns a 2.94 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP in eight home starts this year.







INJURY UPDATE:

• RHP Al Alburquerque (right elbow surgery, 60-day disabled list on April 4).
• OF Andy Dirks (right Achilles tendinitis, 15-day disabled list on May 31).
• C Victor Martinez (left knee surgery, 60-day disabled list on March 12).
• LHP Daniel Schlereth (left shoulder tendinitis, 60-day DL on April 21).
