Leyland Hopes For Consistent Pitching And Health

Jim Leyland wants to see a couple of things happen when his Tigers resume play after the All-Star break.

"I'm looking forward to some consistency from our pitching staff and good health," he said. "What I'm looking for is that we get some synchronization in the pitching department. If we do, I'd be tickled to death.

"But every time I think it's about to happen, something else happens. I'm not crying about it, but we've had a lot of stuff happen so far."

Detroit will be bringing its first five-game winning streak of the season when the traditional second half begins after the All-Star break.

Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer have been dominating, Drew Smyly just turned in the best start of his young career, Doug Fister hasn't been sharp but did win his second game of the season Saturday and Rick Porcello, while up and down, has been steadier of late.
