(Sports Network) - The visiting Detroit Tigers have an opportunity for a two- game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim this afternoon, but the club will have to reverse recent history in order to accomplish the task.

Standing in the way of the Tigers will be Angels' right-hander Kelvim Escobar, who has never lost in 19 lifetime appearances, including eight starts, against Detroit. The 31-year-old is 8-0 with a 2.10 earned run average over those games and has held the Tigers to a .175 batting average over the course of his career.

A throwing error by reliever Todd Jones led to the winning run for the Angels, who came away with a 9-8, 10-inning victory Tuesday. They also needed a daring bit of baserunning by Vladimir Guerrero in the ninth, when he scored the tying run on a short wild pitch by the Tigers' closer.
