Tigers look to sweep Rangers again

Aug 20, 2008 - 6:34 AM Detroit (62-64) at Texas (62-65) 8:05 p.m. EDT

ARLINGTON, Texas (Ticker) -- The Detroit Tigers aim for a season sweep of the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.

Detroit who has won all five meetings between the teams, outscoring the struggling Rangers, 56-20.

The Tigers, who used a nine-run seventh inning on Tuesday en route to an 11-3 win, scored more than 10 runs for the first time since July 30, when they won 14-12, 13-inning affair over the Cleveland Indians.

Nate Robertson (7-9, 5.87) looks to change his road fortunes for Detroit. The lefthander is 3-5 on the road, and has posted an abysmal 7.59 ERA away from home.

He has not won a road start since June 21, spanning five starts.

Texas sends Kevin Milwood (6-7, 5.58) to the mound to try and salvage something against the Tigers. The righthander lost in his return off the disabled list on August 15, allowing five runs and 10 hits, including four home runs, in a 7-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

The righthander left his start on July 23 against the Chicago White Sox after 1 2/3 innings with a sore right groin, the second time the injury has flared up.
