Detroit opened the second leg of its home stand with a win over San Fran, can they continue their success?
The Detroit Tigers opened up the second leg of their current seven-game home stand with a 3-1 win on Memorial Day, giving the team their second-straight victory since dropping three in a row to the Cleveland Guardians in the first leg.
Heading into Tuesday evening’s game, the good guys are tied with the Philadelphia Phillies for the best record in baseball with a one-game lead over the New York Yankees . As for the American League Central, AJ Hinch and Co. hold a five-game lead over Cleveland and the Kansas City Royals , who are tied for second in the division.
On the topic of Tuesday’s matchup, the home team will send Jack Flaherty, who had his longest outing of the season last time out by logging 6 2⁄3 frames — but was still hung with the loss — to the hill.
Meanwhile, the visitors have Logan Webb — who had been en fuego this season but got hammered in his previous start, lasting just four frames while allowing six runs (three earned) on 10 hits (one home run) but no walks — taking the bump for them.
