The Detroit Tigers will try to avoid being swept for the first time since the first series of the season this afternoon in Tampa. The Tigers (48-30) wrap up their three-game series against the Rays (43-34) at 12:10 p.m. at George M. Steinbrenner Field.

Junior Caminero, Danny Jansen and Christopher Morel each hit a solo homer, helping Ryan Pepiot and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Detroit Tigers 8-3.

Brant Hurter allowed four runs in the first inning, all unearned, after Jake Rogers let a passed ball by him on a key strike 3.
