RHP Kevin Correia might have saved his spot in the rotation by turning in six-plus solid innings against Detroit, charged with three runs and four hits. He still isn't getting many swings and misses, but there were plenty of popups after a rugged start.

Correia lasted only 3 2-3 innings, his shortest outing this year, and gave up a season-high six runs Tuesday in a 6-2 loss at Miami.
Advice: Correia fell to 0-4 in his past five starts. "My command just wasn't real good,'' Correia said. ``When I miss, it's a pretty good lineup, and they're going to take advantage of it.''

Correia was beat up by the Marlins on Tuesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and four walks over just 3.2 innings.
Recommendation: It was an all-around awful start for Correia. Although he was somewhat singled to death (six of the eight hits), he lacked control and when it was in the zone, the Marlins made contact. Correia's quick start has evaporated and he now owns a 4.50 ERA.
