WS GM 4: 10/28/12 - DET (0-3) VS SF (3-0) - 8:07 p.m. ET

Tigers: RHP Max Scherzer (1-0, 0.82 ERA)

The Tigers have scheduled Scherzer this postseason with at least a little caution for his right arm; he is working his way back from a deltoid strain. His 10 K's over 5 2/3 innings in Game 4 of the ALCS suggests he's well on his way to full strength.




Giants: RHP Matt Cain (2-2, 3.52 ERA)

The Giants ace pitched like one in Game 7 of the NLCS, tossing 5 2/3 shutout innings. After not allowing an earned run in the 2010 postseason, Game 7 was Cain's first scoreless appearance this year. He has a career 1.83 ERA in the playoffs.






INJURY UPDATE:

• C Victor Martinez (left knee surgery, 60-day disabled list on March 12).
• OF Ryan Raburn (right quadriceps strain, 15-day DL on September 11).
• LHP Daniel Schlereth (left shoulder tendinitis, 60-day DL on April 21).
