Arroyo and Reds Look for Win Over Verlander and Tigers

Bronson Arroyo (2-4, 3.91 ERA) battles Justin Verlander (5-4, 2.67 ERA) who toes the rubber for the first time since registering his MLB leading third complete game of the season when the Reds (32-25) take on the Tigers (26-32) on Saturday afternoon at Great American Ball Park. In yesterday's game, the Reds needed their final at-bat to defeat the Tigers 6-5. Wilson Valdez hit a single off Phil Coke to score Miguel Cairo and secure the win. Today's game is set to start at 4:10pm EDT and will be shown on FSN-DET and FSN-OH.

Arroyo is 2-1 with a 4.66 ERA against the Tigers in his career and faces a tough pitching matchup against Verlander. Verlander is aiming for his 10th quality start of the season and takes the hill against the Reds for the first time in his career. The Reds look to continue their good fortune vs. Tigers pitchers this season, after batting .375 with one homer in one game against them.
