It is a terrible time to be a Detroit Tigers<\/a> fan, clear and simple. After a 7-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox<\/a> at Rate Park on Saturday afternoon, the team has just six wins in May and is burying themselves in the league cellar before summer even begins.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, AJ Hinch will send right-hander Keider Montero<\/a> to the mound to try and prevent a sweep at the hands of their hated intradivision rivals. The 25-year-old has been solid filling in the void for Justin Verlander<\/a> but has struggled recently, putting up a 6.46 ERA and 6.72 FIP over his last three starts, stretching across 15 1\/3 innings with a win, a loss and a no-decision in a team loss.<\/p>\n

The last time Montero faced the Southsiders was last year on Sept. 5, when he surrendered two runs on four hits (one home run) and a walk while striking out a pair over 3 1\/3 innings in a 9-6 loss.<\/p>\n

He will be up against fellow righty Sean Burke<\/a>, who has been solid \u2014 but a bit wild \u2014 in his third major league campaign. The 26-year-old\u2019s last outing was a seven-inning effort that saw him surrender a pair of runs on three hits and two walks while striking out eight Minnesota Twins<\/a> in a 5-3 11-inning loss.<\/p>\n

Funny enough, Burke\u2019s last start against Detroit last summer on June 5 yielded similar numbers. He threw seven frames of two-run ball on seven hits (one home run) and one walk while striking out five in a 3-2 victory that took 10 innings.<\/p>\n

Here is how the two match up on Sunday.<\/p>\n
