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.
CLEVELAND: CLEVELAND (AP) - Jason Kipnis didn't want it to end. He had plenty of company.
After the final out ended the club's magical, turnaround season so jarringly last October, Kipnis, who made his first All-Star team in 2013 and a few of his teammates lingered in the dugout and watched as Tampa Bay's players celebrated their 4-0 win in the AL wild-card playoff game.
One and done. Hardly the finish Cleveland wanted.
And once again, the city would remain without a major sports championship, a drought approaching its 50-year anniversary.
But despite their brief postseason appearance in manager Terry Francona's first year, the Indians intend to play in October again - and again.
''We don't want it to be a fluke,'' Kipnis said. ''We don't want to be a one-trick pony. We want to be at the top and we want to stay there.''
Hoping to build off their unexpected 92-win campaign, the Indians enter 2014 confident they can not only contend this season, but go even further.
During spring training in Arizona, first baseman Nick Swisher, who also serves as the club's high-energy hype man, handed out ''Unfinished Business'' T-shirts to his teammates.
The Indians aren't satisfied.
''Last season, hopefully, was a steppingstone that we needed to get us going in the right direction,'' Swisher said. ''Last year was that amazing year to get us in the right mind frame to say, `Hey, we can do this. We are a team. And people need to start recognizing it.'''
Cleveland had to win its final 10 games just to make the playoffs. The late-season kick wouldn't have been necessary if the Indians had played more consistently, and more evenness has been a focus for Francona, who feels his club has the makings to do something special again.
''I love our team,'' said the AL's manager of the year. ''I love coming to the ballpark and watching them play. They are easy to like because they try hard. When you can show up with a group of guys and you respect the way they go about things it makes the challenging times more fulfilling. We know we can do it now. We've got to try and go do it better.''

*Tigers-Indians Preview* ========================

By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer

Detroit (74-62) at Cleveland (70-64), 7:05 p.m. EDT

Miguel Cabrera returned with a bang as the Detroit Tigers took the opener of this four-game set.

That shouldn't come as much of a surprise to the Cleveland Indians, who haven't been able to contain the slugger.

Looking to keep pace in the AL Central race, Cabrera and the Tigers go for a fifth consecutive road win over the Indians on Tuesday night.

Cabrera went 4 for 5 with two homers, three RBIs and four runs in Monday's 12-1 victory after sitting out the day before with a lingering ankle issue. The reigning two-time AL MVP had gone 1 for his previous 16 before breaking out.

"It was good to see Miggy do that," manager Brad Ausmus said. "It's been a while. Who knows, maybe this is a flash point for him."

Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez also went deep as the Tigers (75-62) remained neck-and-neck with Kansas City for the division lead. Tyler Collins added a three-run shot in the ninth inning while pinch hitting for Cabrera.

Cabrera is batting .423 with three homers, seven doubles, 10 RBIs and 12 runs in 13 games against the Indians this year. His 22 home runs in the series since 2010 are his most against any team during that time, and his 21 at Progressive Field are the most by any opposing player in the park's 20-year history.

"He's not running real good, but I'm not sure it matters when you're jogging," Indians manager Terry Francona said of Cabrera. "His bat's not broken."

Detroit is 6-7 against Cleveland, but it's won four straight road meetings by a combined 33-13 score.

The Indians (70-65) had won six of seven before Monday's rout, dropping four games behind the Tigers. Carlos Santana drove in Cleveland's only run as the team finished 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position.

Another stellar showing from Carlos Carrasco (6-4, 3.01 ERA) could help the Indians bounce back. The right-hander is 3-0 with a 0.73 ERA in four starts since rejoining the rotation Aug. 10, striking out 24 and walking three over 24 2-3 innings.

Carrasco struck out seven over 6 2-3 innings of one-run ball to beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2 on Thursday.

"You know, that's what I've been doing the last few games - attack the hitters," he said. "I just need to do my job and keep the team in there."

While Carrasco has allowed one run over 6 1-3 innings of relief against the Tigers this year, he's 1-4 with a 10.55 ERA in five starts in the series. Torii Hunter is 6 for 12 with four extra-base hits - two homers - in their matchups.

Tigers rookie Kyle Lobstein (0-0, 3.09) is set to make his second big league start. The left-hander gave up two runs - one earned - and four hits over six innings in Thursday's 3-2 win over the New York Yankees.

"He's not a guy that's going to wow you with anything or strike out a lot of guys, but he's a guy who's going to throw strikes," catcher Alex Avila told MLB's official website. "He's fearless up there. He's going to change speeds and pitch to contact and try to induce weak contact. The way he threw today was exactly what I expected. He did a great job."

Victor Martinez is a career .355 hitter against the Indians, his former team. He has five homers, 10 RBIs and 11 runs scored over an 11-game stretch overall.
