Tonight kicks off the first matchup between the on-fire Orioles pitching staff and the league’s worst offense in the Detroit Tigers. The O’s enter on a 26-inning scoreless streak dating back to the series finale against the White Sox. The Tigers enter averaging a measly 3.35 runs per game—a number that drops to three runs even away from Comerica Park. All of this is to say that the O’s and starter Tyler Wells should be feeling pretty confident coming into their matchup against baseball’s Motor City Kitties.
Detroit has typically been a tough opponent for Wells, as he comes into this series with a lifetime 9.
