OUTTA LEFTFIELD
With the Padres in town for interleague play, the past three starting shortstops for the Tigers were reunited. Alan Trammell, who played in 2,293 games with Detroit from 1977-96, is San Diego's first-base coach. Rays shortstop Chris Gomez took over for Trammell and played in 301 games for the Tigers from 1993-96. Deivi Cruz, the Padres shortstop, came in after Gomez and played in 703 games from 1997-2001.
"You don't see that too often," Trammell said.
