Pirates-Tigers Preview (Yahoo Sports)

The weather is projected to be little better in Detroit on Monday when the Tigers open a home-and-home series with the Pittsburgh Pirates after a nasty weekend. The wintry conditions in Detroit saw Comerica Park host the coldest game in the stadium's history on Saturday and then forced a postponement with the New York Yankees on Sunday. Now Justin Verlander, who was scheduled to start Sunday, will get to face another NL team, something he's enjoyed quite a bit throughout his career.
