The Detroit Tigers will take their dismal 19-46 road record to the Bronx tonight to open a 4-game set against the New York Yankees. The Tigers have lost 5 in a row and will have their struggling southpaw, Francisco Liriano, on the hill. Liriano has not won a game since April and is 0-3 in his last 3 starts, with an ERA of 8.25 and a 2.25 WHIP. J.A. Happ will start for New York. Since joining the Yankees from Toronto, Happ has yet to lose with a record of 5-0 and a 2.37 ERA. With the way the Bombers hit lefties at home, going 22-7 in their last 29, it could be an early exit for Liriano.
