Bad spot for the Tigers, who just dropped a doubleheader at home and had to travel to Florida. The Marlins, by contrast, were idle Thursday.

Detroit has one of the weakest offenses in baseball ranking in the bottom-three in runs, batting average and OPS.

The Marlins have been tough at home with 31-20 record. Braxton Garrett should have a bounce-back effort facing this Tigers lineup. Miami is 14-5 in Garrett's starts this season.

Tigers starter Reese Olson is 1-4 with a 4.53 ERA.

The Marlins got a much-needed boost when they beat the Rays, 7-1, two days ago in their last game.
