The Tigers have won four of their last five games against the Pirates, with shutouts in each of their last two meetings (April 14-15, 2015).

The Tigers have already matched the AL record with four shutouts in interleague play this season. The record for interleague shutouts in a season is five, jointly held by the 2001 Mets and 2013 Pirates.

The Pirates have gone 38-8 this season when scoring at least three runs -- the best such record in the National League and the second-best record in the majors (Royals 42-7).

The Pirates have scored fewer than four runs in each of their last six road games -- the longest active streak in the majors.

Justin Verlander, making his third start of the season tonight, has gone 25-3 over his career in interleague play, which is the best record of any pitcher with at least 12 interleague starts. One of Verlander's three interleague losses came against the Pirates on August 11, 2014.

Going back to last season, Josh Harrison is batting .457 (21/46) with seven runs scored and seven multi-hit games over his last 11 interleague games.

HP - Holbrook, 1B - Gibson, 2B - Segal, 3B - Hudson

The Detroit Tigers are starting to feel fortunate they don't have to face Neil Walker very often. They'll be feeling even better once his current visit is done.
Walker will try to continue inflicting damage on Detroit pitching Thursday when he tries to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to their fifth win in six games and first three-game sweep of the Tigers.
