The Tigers will welcome the Redskins at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Caro knows how to get runs on the board -- the team has finished with ten runs or more in their past five games -- so hopefully Sandusky likes a good challenge.

Monday's contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Caro has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .474.
