After another dominant outing for Tarik Skubal and ongoing signs of life from the offense, the Tigers have taken three or four from the Twins. They can add another one and stretch their winning streak to three games this afternoon, while continuing to ding the high flying, AL Central leading, Minnesota Twins. The pitching matchup isn’t wildly tilted in the Tigers favor, but Alex Faedo appears more than a match for Chris Archer at this point in their careers, and the Tigers’ lineup is swinging it better of late.
For the second day in a row, the Tigers’ starting shortstop, Javier Báez, will have the day off as A.
