A quiet morning in the Twins clubhouse. The Tigers are trying to figure out what’s wrong with Joel Zumaya, who said last night he has “no clue” where his fastball is going. And Pudge Rodriguez is out again with a bruised left foot. Had he been in the lineup last night, instead of Mike Rabelo, the Tigers could have broken the game open against Ramon Ortiz. Banged up as they are themselves, the Twins are catching this team at a pretty good time.

Twins lineup: Jason Tyner DH, Nick Punto 3B, Joe Mauer C, Michael Cuddyer RF, Justin Morenau 1B, Torii Hunter CF, Jason Kubel LF, Luis Rodriguez 2B, Jason Bartlett SS. Pitcher: Carlos Silva.

Tigers lineup: Curtis Granderson CF, Placido Polanco 2B, Gary Sheffield DH, Magglio Ordonez RF, Carlos Guillen SS, Sean Casey 1B, Craig Monroe LF, Mike Rabelo C, Brandon Inge 3B. Pitcher: Justin Verlander.
