You can only expect the best from Loaiza. However, some of the Tigers have hit his best before.
I expect Verlander to have better stuff/more command than against the Yankees, but will he wither even earlier than he did in game 2? The key will be short innings, unlike the struggles the Yankees put him through. If the Tigers can give him some rest by extending their innings, well then so much the better.
