The Tigers are coming off a 3-0 win over Cleveland, which tied the series. Notably, Detroit scored all three runs in the ninth inning by hitting a three-run homer.

Detroit’s offense racked up nine hits in the Game 2 victory, while Detroit’s pitching staff held Cleveland to three hits. Detroit starting pitcher Tarik Skubal was dominant on the mound as he threw seven scoreless innings. Skubal hasn’t allowed a run in 13 innings of work this postseason, so Detroit could use him again in this series.

Cleveland will look to bounce back with a better offensive performance today, as they conceded 11 hits during Game 2. The team’s star third baseman, Jose Ramirez, finished the game 0-3 at the plate with two strikeouts, which lowered his average batting rate in the postseason to .167. He had a .279 batting average and 118 RBI in the regular season, so he will need to improve his game this afternoon.
