Reese Olson (4-3, 2.71 ERA) will start the series opener for the Tigers. He tossed five-plus scoreless innings in Texas on Friday, allowing two hits and a walk but still needing 90 pitches to get 15 outs.
Olson has made three starts since a finger injury on his throwing hand forced him to the injured list in mid-May. He has given up just three runs in 14 1/3 innings (1.88 ERA) during that span.
Olson stymied the Blue Jays in his last start before going on the IL, holding them to one hit and a walk in six scoreless innings on May 17. He is 1-0 with a 0.55 ERA in four career appearances (three starts) against Toronto.
He will be opposed by Eric Lauer (5-2, 2.80 ERA), who is coming off one of his best outings of the season. Lauer held the San Francisco Giants to two runs on two hits in six innings with seven strikeouts and no walks on Saturday. That equaled his longest start this year.
Lauer is 0-2 with a 13.50 ERA in three career starts against Detroit. He took a no-decision against Olson and the Tigers on May 17 after yielding one run in three innings.

Los Angeles All-Star left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (4-6, 3.13 ERA), who is 1-1 with a 0.39 ERA in four career starts against the Mariners, will start the opener of the four-game series.
He will be opposed by rookie right-hander Logan Evans (3-3, 3.81 ERA), who will be making his 11th career start and first against Los Angeles.
The Angels, who are 2-3 against Seattle this season, need a big homestand to keep in contention for a playoff spot. Los Angeles, in fourth place in the American League West, 11 games behind the Houston Astros, is five games behind Seattle and the Boston Red Sox for the final two wild-card spots with just a week to go before the trade deadline.
