With wins in 10 of their last 12 games, they've certainly caught the attention of the rest of the American League Central. The Chicago White Sox (39-31) continue to enjoy the largest margin for a division lead in the majors, and they're still six games ahead of the third-place Tigers. But as recently as two weeks ago, Detroit was a |

Zito and his San Francisco teammates will attempt to end their season-long struggles at AT&T Park when the Giants wrap up a three-game interleague series with the Detroit Tigers this afternoon. San Francisco fell to a major league-worst 14-23 at home following Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Tigers, the Giants' sixth defeat in their last seven games at AT&T Park.

After losing two of three to the Kansas City Royals to kickoff that trip, Cleveland responded by splitting four-game sets with the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers.
