There are tonight's starters for the "Please win!" game tonight. I won't call it a "must win," but it is certainly a game we don't want to lose. It's bad enough to be the team that gives the Tigers their first win, but their second win? No thank you.

The Red Sox hope to rebound with Tim Wakefield on the mound. Nate Robertson is aiming to continue the Tigers' only winning streak of the season --- to two.

Here are tonight's lineups:


Lineup

Detroit Tigers @ Boston Red Sox

04/10/08 7:05 PM EDT

Boston Red Sox Detroit Tigers
Julio Lugo - SS Brandon Inge - CF
Dustin Pedroia - 2B Placido Polanco - 2B
David Ortiz - DH Gary Sheffield - DH
Manny Ramirez - LF Magglio Ordonez - RF
Kevin Youkilis - 3B Miguel Cabrera - 3B
JD Drew - RF Carlos Guillen - 1B
Coco Crisp - CF Edgar Renteria - SS
Sean Casey - 1B Ivan Rodriguez - C
Kevin Cash - C Marcus Thames - LF

This lineup looks a lot different without World Series MVP Mike Lowell anchoring the middle. Coco Crisp gets the start in center field, with Kevin Cash behind the plate for the knuckleballer.
