Tigers, Nationals open three-game series

Jun 18, 2007 - 1:16 PM Detroit (39-29) at Washington (30-39) 7:05 pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Ticker) - The Detroit Tigers begin a three-game interleague series against the Washington Nationals on Monday.

Mike Maroth (4-2, 4.91 ERA) takes the mound for the defending American League champions with the hopes of repeating his last start. He went seven innings, yielding one run and nine hits for a no-decision in Wednesday's 3-2 loss against Milwaukee.

Maroth's name has been mentioned in several trade rumors due to the possible early returns of fellow lefthanders Kenny Rogers and Nate Robertson from the disabled list in the coming weeks.

The 29-year-old southpaw will be making his first career appearence against Washington. Maroth has not recorded an interleague won since June 15, 2005

The Nationals counter rookie Mike Chico (3-4, 4.66), who enters winless in his last five starts. In his last outing, the righthander allowed three runs in 6 2/3 frames but did not figure into the decision of a 9-6 win at Baltimore.

Washington first baseman Dmitri Young will be facing his former club for the first time since Detroit released him late last season.
