The Minnesota Twins have scored 4+ runs in each of their last nine games against the Tigers; that is the longest active streak by any team versus Detroit.

The Detroit Tigers are 8-0 in 2016 when scoring at least seven runs in a game. They enter this weekend having scored nine and seven runs, respectively, in their last two games.

Ian Kinsler (20/30/13) is the only player in the majors this season to have 20+ runs, 30+ hits and 10+ RBI. Kinsler had two runs, two hits and one RBI in Thursday's win over the A's.

Joe Mauer has reached base safely via a hit, walk or HBP at least once in all 22 of Minnesota's games this season. That is the longest such streak by any Twins' player since Jacque Jones had a 27-game streak to open the 2005 season.

Michael Fulmer is scheduled to make his MLB debut for the Tigers on Friday after going 1-1 with a 4.11 ERA in three starts for Triple A affiliate Toledo to start the season. The last Tigers' pitcher to win his MLB debut was Kyle Ryan versus the White Sox, August 30, 2014.

Phil Hughes has opened the season with four straight quality starts. The last Twins' pitcher to start a season with five consecutive QS was Kevin Correia, April 3-28, 2013 (streak excludes any relief app).

HP - Wolcott, 1B - Gorman, 2B - DiMuro, 3B - Blakney

The Detroit Tigers have been on a roll since Mike Pelfrey's latest defeat, and the right-hander will try to keep that going while avoiding a dubious distinction.
Pelfrey can guarantee he won't become the first Tigers pitcher to lose his first five starts since 2003 by leading Detroit to a fifth consecutive victory and a three-game sweep of his former team, the Minnesota Twins, on Sunday.

Tigers-Twins Preview

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)  Jordan Zimmermann hasn't required much run support this year. Justin Upton gave him all he needed in the first inning Saturday.
Zimmermann won his fifth straight start to begin his first season with Detroit, and Upton hit a three-run homer for the Tigers in their 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins.
