Robertson looks to get back on track as Tigers face Rangers

Jun 5, 2007 - 5:41 PM Detroit (32-24) at Texas (20-37) 8:35 pm EDT

ARLINGTON, Texas (Ticker) -- The Detroit Tigers look for their third straight win Tuesday when they meet the Texas Rangers in the opener of a three-game series.

Detroit won two straight over the weekend against Cleveland to remain 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Indians. The victories snapped a two-game slide for the Tigers, who also had lost six of seven.

Nate Robertson (4-5, 4.25 ERA) takes the mound for the Tigers. The lefthander has struggled of late, going 1-4 with a 7.01 ERA in his last five starts.

Robertson is 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA lifetime at Texas.

Texas, which has lost 10 of 12, also has dropped a season-high five straight at home.

The Rangers will turn to John Rheinecker (NR) over injured righthander Vicente Padilla, who was scratched due to arm irritation.

Rheinecker began the season on the disabled list because of back spasms. In two starts with Class AAA Oklahoma, the lefthander did not allowed a run in 11 frames.

Rheinecker went 4-5 with a 6.03 ERA through 13 starts last year.
