Worth noting

• The Tigers have yet to officially announce a starter for the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Royals. Left-hander Jose Alvarez, who has started four times for Detroit this season, is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Toledo as the club's designated 26th man allowed for doubleheaders. He is 1-2 with a 5.03 ERA in his four outings.

Victor Martinez (12-for-30) and Fielder (11-for-34) entered Wednesday's finale riding seven-game hitting streaks. Both went 1-for-4 to extend their streaks to eight.

• The official scorer overruled his previous call on Omar Infante's grounder up the middle in Tuesday's eighth inning and instead awarded Infante a single. It was originally called an error on White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez.
