Twins send Diamond to the mound for series finale in Detroit

DETROIT -- Today's series finale at Comerica Park will feature two pitchers riding hot streaks.

Twins lefty Scott Diamond has tossed eight innings in back-to-back wins, and Tigers righty Rick Porcello is 3-1 with a 2.52 ERA over his past four starts.

After winning the first two games here in Detroit, and losing Wednesday to Justin Verlander, the Twins have a chance to leave town with a big series victory.
