Ten days from now, in the opener of a series in Kansas City, the Tigers will need their No. 5 starter again.

Jim Leyland Wants Another Day Off

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:14:00 +1900

For a sports fan, baseball's All-Star break is generally the three dullest days of the year. Sure, there's the actual game and the home run derby that goes with it, but other than that, not much goes on in sports for three days.
