Battle of youth vs. experience in Tigers vs. Phillies

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) - When the Detroit Tigers visit the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday, they'll be trotting out their latest top-flight young starter. The Phillies will counter with a grizzled veteran.

Andrew Miller (2-0, 3.18 ERA) will be making his third start of the season for the Tigers. The 22-year-old lefthander was Detroit's No. 1 draft pick (sixth overall) in the 2006 draft and has surged through the minors, even making a brief stop in the major league bullpen last seaon.

He pitched six scoreless innings against the Cardinals on May 18 to earn his first major-league win in a spot-start for the then-injured Jeremy Bonderman. Back in the majors in relief of injured lefthander Nate Robertson, Miller yielded four runs in 5 1/3 innings last Sunday against the Mets, but picked up a win as the offense pounded out 14 runs.

Philadelphia will send 44-year-old Jamie Moyer (5-5, 4.55) to the mound. The veteran lefthander made his major-league debut in 1986 - just a year after Miller was born.

Moyer got knocked around in his last start, surrendering six runs in 3 2/3 innings in a loss to the lowly Kansas City Royals last Saturday. He owns a career 10-7 mark with a 3.08 ERA in 27 appearances - 20 starts - against the Tigers.

Detroit slugged its way to a 12-8 victory in the first game of the series on Friday, with Ivan Rodriguez homering and driving in five runs.
