Cleveland Indians pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez (9-14, 5.61 ERA) has pitched much better against the Detroit Tigers than most other teams this season, and he'll get a chance to help Cleveland sweep the Tigers, who came into the series tied for the AL Central lead, at 7:05 p.m. Wednesday.
Jimenez is winless in his last four starts. He hasn't lasted more than 5.2 innings or given up fewer than 3 earned runs in any of those starts. However, he is 2-1 with a 3.75 ERA in four starts against the Tigers this season.
Doug Fister (7-8, 3.27 ERA) starts for the Tigers. Fister gave up 2 earned runs in five innings in his last outing, a Tigers win over the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 31, his first start since returning from a groin injury. He is 1-1 with a 2.38 ERA in three starts against the Indians this season.
