Monday’s lineups: Tigers at Royals
Looks like a night off for Jose Iglesias, who had played every inning of the Tigers’ last 18 games. He went 1-for-13 over the weekend against the Red Sox. Andrew Romine gets the start against Johnny Cueto, who has been particularly tough on lefties (.177 average, 70 strikeouts in 266 at-bats). That said, Tyler Collins had three decent at-bats against Cueto, and he’s back in the lineup in left. Alex Avila starts behind the plate.
TIGERS (numbers off Cueto)
Anthony Gose, CF (2-for-7, triple, K)
Tyler Collins, LF (1-for-3, double)
Ian Kinsler, 2B (2-for-6, double, triple, walk)
Victor Martinez, DH (0-for-9, walk, 2 K’s)
J.D. Martinez, RF (1-for-7, walk)
Nick Castellanos, 3B (0-for-4, walk, K)
