Miggy and the Mudhens will take the stage for an encore this evening against the Cleveland Indians. Jeanmar Gomez is on the mound for the Indians, while Max Scherzer will hope to bring his May success into June for the Tigers. Recent call-up Bryan Holaday (not the one in the middle of the above picture) will get his first career start behind the plate.

Gomez has been inconsistent for the Indians so far this year and his last two outings have been among his worst of the season. Also, I think that it’s interesting that Matt Young isn’t in the lineup after going home with the dreaded golden sombrero last night. Surprising? Not really. But definitely interesting. Don’t be surprised if he’s back in Toledo by the end of the week to make room for another outfielder (I’m not naming names) returning from the DL.
