Final
Rogers looks to help Tigers end recent home woes
Jun 28, 2007 - 1:34 PM Texas (32-45) at Detroit (45-31) 1:05 pm EDTDETROIT (Ticker) -- The struggling Detroit Tigers face the streaking Texas Rangers on Thursday, hoping to avoid a three-game series sweep following Wednesday's rainout.
Kenny Rogers (1-0, 0.00 ERA) makes his second start of the season since missing the beginning of the campaign with a blood clot in his shoulder. The veteran lefthander made his 2007 debut Friday, allowing six hits in six scoreless innings to record the win against the Atlanta Braves.
On Thursday, Rogers faced one of his five former teams in Texas, where he posted a 133-96 record and 4.16 ERA in three different stints over 12 seasons.
Rogers also has experienced a fair amount of success against the Rangers, registering a 5-3 record with a 3.96 ERA in 14 career games - including 13 starts - against them.
Opposing the 42-year-old will be righthander Kevin Millwood (4-6, 7.31), who will attempt to win his third straight start for the first time since August 11-September 11, 2002, a stretch in which he won seven times in seven starts.
Millwood is 3-3 with a 4.20 ERA in eight lifetime starts against the Tigers.
The reigning American League champion Tigers have lost four straight home games, including the first two games of this series.
