May 24 Avila is facing fewer fastballs this year, and significantly fewer four-seam fastballs, the Tigers' official site reports.

Recommendation: Avila is hitting about the same when eventually gets a fastball, but he's doing much worse against offspeed pitches, particularly changeups.

May 23 C Alex Avila provided Detroit with all of its scoring Tuesday night by hitting a three-run home run in the second inning. Avila might have shaken a slump with a two-run single in the Tigers' previous game on Sunday. He was 2-for-10 during Detroit's homestand and is now 6-for-40 since the Tigers embarked on a road trip May 7. Yahoo! Sports
