KEY GAME INFORMATION
DETROIT: DETROIT (AP) - When Justin Verlander takes the mound for Detroit on opening day, maybe then the Tigers will be able to enjoy a much-needed sense of normalcy.
As an offseason of drama gave way to spring training injuries, it was easy to forget the Tigers still have one of the most talented rosters in baseball. Sure, there have been some early problems for new manager Brad Ausmus to address, Detroit still figures to be the favorite to win its fourth consecutive AL Central title.
''We have a new look this year,'' outfielder Torii Hunter said. ''Little bit more speed and we'll miss the big man, but we'll score some runs.''
The ''big man'' is Prince Fielder, whom the Tigers traded to Texas in a blockbuster deal that brought second baseman Ian Kinsler to Detroit. That move gave the Tigers more financial flexibility, although they weren't all that aggressive in pursuing free agents. Detroit did sign Joe Nathan to replace departed closer Joaquin Benoit.
The Tigers also traded right-hander Doug Fister to Washington.
Lately, the focus has been on right-hander Max Scherzer, who enters his final season before free agency after winning the Cy Young Award in 2013. Negotiations with the Tigers on a long-term deal have stalled.
''They respect where I'm at. I respect where they're at, and we'll revisit this after the season,'' Scherzer said. ''I still want to be in Detroit. I love this clubhouse and everything about it. There's been a history of this team signing free agents so hopefully I'll be a part of that history as well.''
But right now Scherzer's future is uncertain, and with Hunter and Victor Martinez in the final season of their contracts, it's hard to say what Detroit's 2015 roster will look like.
So the Tigers may never have a better chance to win a World Series with this group than right now.
MINNESOTA: MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The number is staggering. In the past three years, the Minnesota Twins have lost 291 games. Ninety-nine in 2011. Ninety-six each of the last two seasons.
A team that was once viewed as a model for succeeding and competing with modest financial resources has been an afterthought for too long now. They have finished last in the AL Central twice and were fourth last season.
So the Twins shed their frugal ways in the offseason, shelling out $73 million to bring in Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes to bolster a lagging rotation. They also brought back manager Ron Gardenhire on a two-year deal and moved Joe Mauer from catcher to first base in an effort to protect their franchise player from injury.
''They made a statement: `We don't want to see this again. We don't want to go through this again this summer,''' Gardenhire said.
The Twins said goodbye to longtime first baseman Justin Morneau late last season when general manager Terry Ryan traded him to the Pirates in a stretch-run deal. There weren't many other changes to an offense that has struggled to score runs, but the upgrades to the rotation have given the holdovers some peace of mind that they won't have to score seven runs a game to have a chance to win.
''It's night and day to be honest with you. Terry went out and spent some money on some good arms in Nolasco and Hughes,'' second baseman Brian Dozier said. ''Hughes had a bad year last year but is an All-Star pitcher and I think moving to this park will help him a lot. I think just getting out of New York to be honest with you. ... So we needed to address our pitching staff and Terry did that, and I'm happy about it.''

*Tigers-Twins Preview* ======================

By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer

Detroit (83-66) at Minnesota (63-86), 8:10 p.m. EDT

The Detroit Tigers aren't getting caught looking ahead to the weekend's crucial series against Kansas City, instead doing everything they can to maintain their slim AL Central lead against the last-place Minnesota Twins.

Detroit looks to win a fifth straight game while beating host Minnesota for the fourth consecutive time Tuesday night.

The Tigers (84-66) have won the last three Central titles, but they lead the second-place Royals by just 1 1/2 games with a three-game set beginning Friday in Kansas City.

Detroit's other nine remaining games are against the Twins (63-87) and Chicago White Sox, who blew a three-run lead in Monday's 4-3 loss the Royals. The Tigers jumped out to a 6-0 advantage over Minnesota and blew the lead before former Twin Torii Hunter and Miguel Cabrera hit back-to-back homers in the ninth for an 8-6 win.

"I'd rather get a lead and hold it, but that wasn't in the cards," manager Brad Ausmus said. "We saw that Kansas City was working its way back. We certainly would've loved it if Chicago could hold on, but we've got to keep our house in order."

Hunter is hitting .407 during a six-game hitting streak against the Twins, while Cabrera is batting .436 with six homers in 14 games this month.

"Miggy didn't want me to have fun and celebrate too much. Before I could even get my elbow guard and my toe guard off, he hit one," Hunter said. "But all in all, it was a battle. Great win. Great game."

J.D. Martinez went 3 for 4 and is hitting .400 with three homers and nine RBIs over his last six for the Tigers, who have won seven of eight. He's also batting .400 during an eight-game hitting streak against the Twins.

Detroit's only defeat during its hot stretch came Wednesday against the Royals when it failed to produce any support for Rick Porcello in a 3-0 loss. Porcello (15-11, 3.23 ERA) lost his third straight start despite giving up two runs in 6 2-3 innings after allowing six runs in back-to-back outings.

The right-hander has had some trouble with the Twins recently, going 1-1 with a 6.61 ERA in his last three starts against them, including two this season.

Though Minnesota has lost nine of 11, it has scored six runs in three consecutive contests. Joe Mauer went 2 for 4 with four RBIs on Monday after not driving in a run in his previous 10.

He's hitting .375 with 11 RBIs in his last six against the Tigers.

Minnesota looks to keep its offense going while winning for the first time in eight tries with Ricky Nolasco on the mound.

Nolasco (5-11, 5.64) had a solid outing Thursday, giving up one run in seven innings against Cleveland. The Twins couldn't get on the board, though, and lost 2-0.

The right-hander is 0-5 with a 6.05 ERA over his last seven starts and hasn't won since beating Kansas City on July 1. It's been a disappointing season for Nolasco after signing a four-year, $48 million contract in November.

"Ricky gets stronger as the game goes along," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He kept us in it the whole way (Wednesday). Hopefully, we'll see that same guy out there all next year."

Nolasco made his only career start against Detroit on June 15, giving up three runs in 5 1-3 innings of a 4-3 loss.
