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 JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer

Detroit (84-66) at Minnesota (63-87), 8:10 p.m. EDT

The Detroit Tigers maintained their lead atop the AL Central despite a frustrating setback against the Minnesota Twins.

They might not be as lucky if they continue to stumble against inferior competition.

The Tigers will try to bounce back Wednesday night with David Price on the hill in Minneapolis.

Detroit (84-67) suffered a 4-3 loss to the Twins on Tuesday but kept its 1 1/2-game edge over Kansas City for first place with the Royals losing to the White Sox.

Aaron Hicks drove in the winning run with a two-out single in the ninth against closer Joe Nathan after the Tigers took the lead in the top half for the second straight night. They had been shut out until J.D. Martinez's three-run shot Tuesday, one night after Torii Hunter and Miguel Cabrera powered Detroit to an 8-6 victory with back-to-back homers in the ninth.

The Tigers are just 7-7 against the Twins (64-87), who had lost nine of 11 and a major league-worst 17 of 23.

"Anybody who thought this was going to be easy and we'd go out and win every game really doesn't understand the game of baseball," manager Brad Ausmus said.

Ausmus would prefer to see a little more consistency out of Price (14-11, 3.26 ERA), who is 3-3 with a 3.70 ERA in eight starts for his new club. He gave up a combined 13 runs over 10 2-3 innings in losses to the Yankees and San Francisco on Aug. 27 and Sept. 6, but yielded just one run in wins over Cleveland on Sept. 1 and Sept. 12.

Detroit has been able to depend on him to eat up innings - he's logged 56 since being acquired.

"I know the stuff that I possess out there on the mound is good enough to get teams out, it's good enough to be dominant," Price said. "I just want to be able to pitch as deep as possible into the game."

He was outstanding the last time he visited Target Field, striking out nine and yielding just four hits over eight innings in a 5-1 victory for the Rays on July 19. Price improved to 4-2 with a 2.34 ERA in nine games against the Twins, including eight starts.

Minnesota's Kyle Gibson (11-11, 4.58) owns a 6.69 ERA over his last seven outings and is winless in the last five after he was shelled for seven runs in three innings of an 8-2 defeat at Cleveland on Thursday.

"It just seemed like everything I was throwing up there, they were hitting," he said.

Gibson's stretch might only worsen versus the Tigers after going 1-2 with a 7.24 ERA in his first three matchups this year. He was charged with five runs and eight hits over 4 2-3 innings of a 13-4 home loss to Detroit on Aug. 24.

Alex Avila and Ian Kinsler are both 3 for 7 against Gibson, though Avila missed a second straight game Tuesday with concussion-like symptoms and is day to day.

Oswaldo Arcia - owner a seven-game hitting streak - didn't play Tuesday due to back stiffness. He's likely to sit out Wednesday's finale with an off day coming Thursday.

Trevor Plouffe is 4 for 9 against Price.
