Pitchers: vs Jimenez vs Fister
Fister’s first outing in the division series could come at home. The Tigers (92-67) own the tiebreaker over AL West champion Texas, but the Rangers have a one-game lead and Detroit isn’t overly concerned with catching them. Detroit third baseman — out since Sept. 16 with a knee injury — should return Monday. Cabrera went 9 for 14 in a four-game set against Baltimore that was capped by Sunday’s 10-6 win, homering in each of the final three games before leaving Sunday with lightheadedness. Martinez is 4 for 11 with two homers against the right-hander this season. “He got dizzy,” Leyland said. “I just didn’t want to take any chances.” has a .464 on-base percentage against Cleveland this season, while Martinez has three homers and 13 RBIs in his last five games against his former team. The right-hander allowed an unearned run over three innings of relief Wednesday to earn a 6-3 win at Kansas City. With that work in between his Aug. 16 outing and Monday’s start, Fister is on track to take the ball in Game 2 of the AL division series. He’s 2-1 with a 2.03 ERA in five starts against the Indians this year, including 2-0 with a 2.12 ERA in three with Detroit. (3 for 15) and (1 for 11) have both struggled against him in 2011.
