DETROIT — Right-hander Buck Farmer will try on Tuesday to extend his scoreless innings streak against a team that has won six of seven interleague games.
The Detroit Tigers and Arizona split two games earlier this year in Phoenix, where the Diamondbacks have played all of their interleague games to date.
Farmer (2-0) is now a permanent fixture in the Detroit rotation; permanent, that is, as long as he pitches well. He has made two starts on a call-up basis this year and has not allowed a run in 13 innings. This will mark his first career start against Arizona.
