Difficult 4-game stretch against the Yanks

Things don't get any easier for the Tigers.  Coming off six straight losses, they get to play the evil empire, the New York Yankees in a 4-game set.


Justin Verlander gets the call tonight for the Tigers, and will be facing Bartolo Colon, who has been pretty good so far this year.  Verlander must pitch extremely well tonight and get the ball club a must needed W.  He is the ace, and part of an ace's job requirements is to get big wins for his team and stop losing streaks. 

This is the Tigers' most favorable pitching match-up of the series, and they need to get game one if they have hopes of splitting, which is a great outcome when you are struggling and facing one of the best teams in baseball.
