Time to Get in Gear in the Motor City

The Yankees start a 3-game series with the Detroit Tigers tonight in Motown. Unfortunately, Kei Igawa will be on the hill for the Bombers, which means we'll probably finally get around to watching Michael Clayton.

The Yankees (18-18) were swept in a 3-game set by the Tigers (15-21) last week at Yankee Stadium. The Tigers thought they had some momentum going and then dropped 6 of 7 to the Twins and Red Sox.

Igawa's opponent tonight will be Kenny Rogers who limited a punchless Yankees lineup to 2 runs over 6 innings on April 29. The Tigers won that game 6-4 as Phil Hughes made his last pre-disabled list start. The Tigers took the next two games of the series as well by 6-2 and 8-4 margins.

Saturday's nationally televised game on Fox which will feature Jeremy Bonderman against Darrell Rasner, and the series winds up Sunday afternoon with a pair of lefties, Nate Robertson and Andy Pettitte, facing off.
