Minnesota Twins vs Detroit Tigers
1:05 PM ET, May 30, 2011
Comerica Park, Detroit, Michigan
Nick Blackburn has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise disastrous season for the Minnesota Twins.
Blackburn looks to win his fourth consecutive decision and help the Twins avoid losing their seventh straight to the Detroit Tigers in Monday's series opener at Comerica Park.
Off to its worst start since 1995, Minnesota (17-34) is already 14 1/2 games out of first place in the AL Central -- a division it has won each of the last two seasons and in six of the last nine years.
The Twins, who have historically prided themselves on defense and fundamentals, had a sloppy defensive showing in Sunday's 6-5 loss to Los Angeles, their 16th defeat in 21 games.
"We've got to keep playing hard," outfielder Michael Cuddyer told the team's official website.
