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.

The Detroit Tigers, for the first time ever in an outdoor series with the Tampa Bay Rays in Florida, are in a rain delay in Tampa, Florida.
