Tigers look to bounce back vs. Twins
May 24, 2008 - 1:23 PM Minnesota (24-24) at Detroit (20-28) 7:05 pm EDTDETROIT (Ticker) - Nate Robertson will try to solve his struggles at home when the Detroit Tigers continue their three-game series against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.

Boof Bonser (2-5, 5.25) gets the call for the Twins on Saturday.
The righthander has has some success when facing the Tigers, going 2-0 with a 5.00 ERA in three career starts.
