Detroit took the series opener in Baltimore on Tuesday night and look to clinch the series.
The Detroit Tigers opened up their three-game road series at the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night with a 5-3 victory thanks to a fifth-inning outburst which, in addition to a couple of early runs, was enough to get away with the win.
Now AJ Hinch and Co. look for yet another series win on Wednesday against their American League East foes.
The Motor City Kitties still cling to their narrow half-game lead over the New York Mets for the best record in all of baseball while extending their lead in the Central division to eight games over the Minnesota Twins .
The Olde English D also ranks third overall in run differential with a plus-94 — behind the Chicago Cubs (+108) and New York Yankees (+103), respectively.
On Wednesday evening, the Tigers will send Casey Mize to the mound to face off with the Orioles’ Zach Eflin. Take a look at how they match up below.
