<h3>Tigers' rookie Miller face potent Red Sox lineup</h3>



<div class="pre">Boston (53-31) at Detroit (49-34) 7:05 pm EDT</div>

DETROIT (Ticker) -- Detroit Tigers' rookie Andrew Miller willface the toughest test of his young and promising career as hetakes the hill against the Boston Red Sox in the opener of athree-game series on Friday.

Miller(3-2, 3.81 ERA) has the unenviable task of shutting down aRed Sox lineup that has scored 33 runs during the team'scurrent four-game winning streak.

On Thursday Boston beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays intosubmission, 15-4, setting season highs for runs and hits (21) tohelp Josh Beckett earn his major-league leading 12th win.

The Tigers' first round pick of last year's draft, Miller willtry and deny Boston a season-high tying fifth straight win.

In his first start against an American League team, the 6-6lefthander allowed six runs - five earned - and six hits in fiveinnings against Minnesota on Saturday. Prior to that Miller hadallowed a total of eight runs in 23 1/3 innings over fourinterleague starts.

Detroit, which is 4-5 on its current 12-game homestand, is comingoff a 12-3 win over C.C. Sabathia and the Cleveland Indians onThursday.

Meanwhile, Miller will be opposed by Julian Tavarez (5-6, 4.39),who suffered a disappointing loss in which he allowed just oneearned run over 5 2/3 innings against Texas on Sunday.

It marked the second straight defeat for Tavarez, who hadpreviously won four straight decisions.
