AL: TEXAS (30-45) at DETROIT (45-29) <h3>Bonderman looks for ninth straight win</h3> <div class="pre">Texas (30-45) at Detroit (45-29) 7:05 pm EDT</div> <div class="pre">DETROIT (Ticker) - Jeremy Bonderman and the Detroit Tigers are</div>streaking. Bonderman takes the mound in the opener of a four-game serieswith the Texas Rangers on Monday. Bonderman (8-0, 4.01 ERA) is in search of his ninth straightwin, but has not been pitching as well as his record indicates. The righthander has an ERA of 4.96 during his eight-game winningstreak but has received ample run support, as the Tigers havescored at least eight runs in each of his starts. The 24-year-old needs to win his next three starts to match thefranchise record of 11 straight set by Earl Whitehill in 1930 .He is the first Tiger to win eight in a row since Dave Mlickifrom August 6-September 13, 1999. Bonderman, who will aim to lead Detroit to its seventh straightwin, allowed three runs and five hits in a season-low fiveinnings against Washington on Wednesday. As for the Rangers,they had their season-high four-game winning streak snapped in a12-9 loss to Houston on Sunday. Kameron Loe (3-6, 6.34) takes the hill looking to get a newstreak started. Loe has won both of his starts since beingrecalled from the minor leagues, allowing just three runs in 142/3 innings.
