The Arizona Diamondbacks will open their three-game series with the Detroit Tigers on Friday, aiming to capture their fourth win in five games. The Diamondbacks eked out a close 2-1 win on Thursday to wrap up their series with the Cincinnati Reds. Arizona took two of the three games from the series, improving their slate to 21-23 and 11-19 on the road. Meanwhile, the Tigers will try to avoid absorbing their third straight loss after dropping the last two games of their series against the Miami Marlins. Despite falling one game below .500, Detroit (21-22) remains within striking distance of the AL Central division leader Cleveland Guardians (27-17). The D-Backs have been hitting .224/.301/.393 with 24 runs while allowing 4.21 ERA over their past six games. The Tigers have been batting .214/.279/.333 with 19 runs while giving up a 3.33 ERA over the same stretch. Tigers LHP Tarik Skubal (5-0, 2.02 ERA with 60 strikeouts) will put his undefeated record on the line against Diamondbacks Ryne Nelson (3-3, 5.33 ERA with 19 strikeouts).
