Hot corner

April 08, 1998

Quote: "It's tough. You hope you have enough depth to handle it." -- Yankees manager Joe Torre after Chili Davis followed Mariano Rivera onto the disabled list.

It's a fact: First-pitch temperatures, tracked by the Tigers public relations department to 1934, have ranged from a low of 34 in 1996 to a high of 80 in 1960. Yesterday's was 53.

Who's hot: Detroit relievers have not given up an earned run in their last 14 1/3 innings.

Who's not: The Blue Jays have 35 hits in six games and are last in the American League in batting at .189.

On deck: Hideki Irabu, who had a rough year for the Yankees last season, makes his 1998 debut tonight.
