Tuesday’s rainout left the Tigers with three off-days in the next week and gave Jim Leyland a chance to tweak his starting rotation, skipping Zach Miner, who was shelled on Monday, next time around.
        Although Miner had a ready-made excuse because of Monday’s weather, Leyland was clearly less than pleased with the right hander’s slow-poke, eight-run, three-home-run performance.
        Armando Galarraga will start as scheduled in the homestand finale at Comerica Park on Wednesday, and Justin Verlander will open the road trip in Seattle on Friday. Edwin Jackson will start Saturday and rookie Rick Porcello, who was supposed to pitch Tuesday, will make his second start of the season on Sunday.
        Galarraga, not Miner, will start April 21 in Los Angeles.
        After Monday, the Tigers don’t have another off-day on their schedule until April 30.
        By then, the Tigers hope, Jeremy Bonderman may be close to ready to rejoin the rotation.
