DETROIT -- Rubbing out tough defeats has been a trait of the Detroit Tigers all season long.They will have to rub out two in a row Monday against a Cleveland Indians team eager to clinch the American League Central Division title with just one more win.Im very adept at forgetting the last game, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said the morning after Saturdays tough 7-4 loss to Kansas City, which the Royals accomplished by scoring five times with two out in the ninth. In my mind its going to be a dogfight all the way in here.The truth is we probably werent going to win out the rest of the games that we played. Its not a great way to lose a game but at the end of the day it doesnt matter how you lose; you just lost. And you move on, try to win the next game.Cleveland could have clinched the division title Sunday by winning but it dropped a 2-0 verdict to the visiting Chicago White Sox, getting just two hits in the game.The itinerary says go to Detroit, Indians manager Terry Francona said. We go where they tell us and play who they tell us. So well go there and try to win.Its disappointing, said Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin, who pitched well but took a loss. Wed rather do it here (in Cleveland) than on the road, but we ran into a pretty good pitcher (Carlos Rodon, who struck out 11 and allowed two hits in eight innings) who had all his stuff working. Sometimes you just have tough luck. Now weve got to go on the road and get it done.The Tigers are a team peopled with veteran players steeped in the ups and downs of the long baseball season and who pass on their even-keel mentality to the youngsters on the team.Detroit lost Saturday, giving up five runs with two out in the ninth to lose, 7-4, but bounced back on offense with a 17-hit nine-run attack Sunday that also wasnt good enough to avoid a 12-9 loss to Kansas City, which had 19 hits including four home runs.Were going to fight the Cleveland Indians (Monday) and hopefully win, Ausmus said. And maybe somebody helps us on the other end.Cleveland has lost just twice to Detroit all season but one of those was the last time the two clubs met, a week ago in Cleveland.The fifth starter spot has been a weakness for Detroit all season and now it turns to youngster Buck Farmer to get back on track a playoff push that is running out of time.And he will be facing Clevelands best starter, Cory Kluber (18-9, 3.11 ERA), who is 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA in three starts against Detroit this season.Kluber used to force-feed fastballs to the Tigers but this year has shown the ability to mix in more soft stuff and its made his heater that much more effective.For his career facing the Tigers, Kluber is 5-6 with a 3.74 ERA. He has started 16 times and relieved once.Kluber is 8-4 with a 2.97 ERA in 15 road starts this year. In 14 starts going back to July 8 he is 10-1 with a 2.32 ERA and .208 opponents batting average.Farmer (0-0, 4.07 ERA) has started once in his career against the Indians but his making his second straight start in turn for the Tigers. He threw 2 2/3 scoreless inning at Minnesota, a game that was rained out before he could complete the third.He is 0-1 lifetime with a 7.20 ERA in three appearances against Cleveland.

Peter Handscomb will captain Victoria in the Matador Cup next month and will lead a squad featuring four players uncapped in one-day cricket. Fast bowlers Jackson Coleman and Matt Doric have been included in the 14-man group, having not played state cricket in any format, while the Bushrangers also named allrounder Ian Holland and wicketkeeper Aaron Ayre, both of whom debuted in the Sheffield Shield last summer.Former Test spinner Michael Beer is also in line to play for Victoria for the first time. Beer was originally from Melbourne, but did not get a chance in state cricket until he moved to Western Australia. However, having lost his contract with the Warriors last year, he is back in Victoria and at 32 is set to make his Bushrangers debut.Batsman Marcus Harris is also set to play for Victoria for the first time, having switched from Western Australia this year. Last summer, Harris played in the Cricket Australia XI during the Matador Cup and was the leading run scorer for the young side, with 184 at 36.80.Victoria will be without usual captain Matthew Wade, opening batsman Aaron Finch and fast bowlers Scott Boland and John Hastings, all of whom are with the Australia ODI squad in South Africa. However, the axing of Glenn Maxwell from the ODI side could prove a bonus for Victorias hopes in the Matador Cup, as he should be available for the whole tournament.Coleman and Doric have shown promising form in both Premier Cricket and Pathway competitions, and will help fill the roles left by our frontline pace attack curreently missing through injury and overseas commitments, Victorias chairman of selectors, Andrew Lynch, said.dddddddddddd Add to that a solid mix of young all-rounders, as well as experienced campaigners like Glenn Maxwell, Cameron White, Bobby Quiney and Dan Christian, and were set for a really positive month of cricket.Beer comes in as a seasoned campaigner, and will really add depth to our spin attack led by Fawad Ahmed and Jon Holland. To have those three as well as part-timers Maxwell and White is incredibly beneficial, and leaves us with plenty of options next month.Peter Siddle, who retained his Cricket Australia contract this year despite the likelihood he would be sidelined for a lengthy portion of the year with stress fractures in his back, was not named in the squad. James Pattinson was not named either, as he continues to work towards a return from injury.James has been consistent with his training output over winter, Lynch said. Hes working hard to have his body in the physical shape required to sustain the demands of bowling when the time comes. We dont have a definitive date for his return yet, but his strong progress to date is promising heading into summer.Victoria squad Peter Handscomb (capt), Fawad Ahmed, Aaron Ayre, Michael Beer, Daniel Christian, Jackson Coleman, Matt Doric, Marcus Harris, Ian Holland, Jon Holland, Glenn Maxwell, Rob Quiney, Marcus Stoinis, Cameron White.
