The Detroit Tigers, the surprise last place team in the AL Central division, look to start a new week on a strong note, but it won't be easy against the Tampa Bay Rays, who own the best record in the AL. Detroit (22-38) got swept by the White Sox over the weekend and have dropped four straight. The Rays (36-20) won two of three over the Angles, rebounding from a sweep at the hands of the Orioles. Ty Madden (0-0, 2.38 ERA) gets the start for the Tigers, while the Rays hand the ball to Griffin Jax (1-3, 3.60)
