Tigers look to keep heat on playoff leaders

Sep 11, 2007 - 1:22 PM Texas (68-74) at Detroit (78-66) 1:05 pm EDT

DETROIT (Ticker) - After an emotional win, the Detroit Tigers face the Texas Rangers in the opener of a day-night doubleheader on Tuesday.

Magglio Ordonez delivered a two-run single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning on Monday, lifting the Tigers to a 5-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The hit capped a four-run rally.

Detroit, which won for the fifth time in six games, pulled within 3 1/2 games of the New York Yankees in the American League wild card race. The Tigers are six games back of the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central.

Chad Durbin (8-6, 4.57 ERA) takes the mound for the Tigers. In his first start since August 18, Durbin gave up four hits over five scoreless innings but did not factor in the decision against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.

Vicente Padilla (5-9, 6.01) will go for his third straight win over four starts on Tuesday. He yielded just two hits over six scoreless frames in a 3-2 win over the Royals on Wednesday.

The righthander has yet to lose a game to the Tigers over his career, winning two of his three lifetime starts due in large part due to a 2.70 ERA.
