Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Drawing second straight start
Dillon Dingler will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Giants.Dingler will pick up a second straight start and could see the larger portion of the work behind the plate while fellow backstop Jake Rogers has fallen into a skid at the plate over his last seven contests (1-for-23, 11 strikeouts).
