Tigers-Pirates, top of first

Four springs ago, the Tigers were coming off a 119-loss season that made a mockery of the term rebuilding.
Team president-general manager Dave Dombrowski and manager Jim Leyland have turned all that around. Detroit got to the World Series two years ago, and the trade with the Marlins for third baseman Miguel Cabrera and pitchers Dontrelle Willis makes the Tigers a good bet for an American League Central title.
Edgar Renteria, the leadoff batter, reaches on a broken-bat bloop single to left. Cabrera comes up with a man on first and two outs.
Zach Duke last pitched nine days ago against the Blue Jays, hurling five scoreless innings (he was the starter in Saturday's rainout against the Rays). Manager John Russell and pitching coach Jeff Andrews would love to see him build on that success.
Good news for Doug Mientkiewicz fans: The Pirates have added him to the major-league roster. He can play first, third, left and right field and catch in an emergency.
Cabrera is unable to check his swing, ending the inning.
