Detroit tries to begin a new winning streak in Arlington on Saturday night as they take on the Rangers. Texas provided Dontrelle Willis with his first Tigers victory in his short career with the team last May when Willis went 6.3 innings giving up just one hit while striking out 5 and walking two against the Rangers. In 2008, Willis gave up just three runs and two hits in five innings to the Rangers in a no decision.

Willis has been solid so far this season going 0-1 with a 4.24 ERA in three starts. He took the loss in his last start, but he gave up only four hits and two runs in six innings of work against the Angels. Josh Hamilton (0-3), Nelson Cruz (0-3), Elvis Andrus (0-3), David Murphy (0-2), Chris Davis (0-2) and Taylor Teagarden (0-2) are all looking for their first hits off the lefty. Texas, as a team, is just 1-5 against left-handed starters scoring only 2.7 runs per game while hitting .186 against them. Over their last eight games, Texas is hitting below .200 as a team.

Texas’ Scott Feldman had his start pushed back one day as he’s dealing with a stomach virus. Feldman is 1-1 with a 4.41 ERA and is coming off a short outing in New York against the Yankees. Feldman is 0-1 with a 9.72 ERA in two starts against Detroit including a horrible outing in July where he gave up six runs and 10 hits in 2.3 innings of work. Adam Everett (3-8), Carlos Guillen (3-6), Miguel Cabrera (2-5) and Ryan Raburn (1-3) have had good numbers against the righty.
