The Detroit Tigers hope to end their four-game winning skid when they play the Cleveland Guardians again in Game 2 of their three-game series. The Tigers (18-17), who squandered all three games against the New York Yankees, suffered another crushing setback after losing their series opener vs. Cleveland, 2-1, on Jose Ramirez’s go-ahead homer in the sixth inning. The Tigers enter Tuesday night’s game looking to stay above .500 after their recent losses dropped them to 18-17. On the other hand, the Guardians (23-12) will try to extend their winning streak to four games and further solidify their position at the top AL Central Standings.

Pitchers Matchup:

Tigers RHP Kenta Maeda (1-1, 5.02 ERA with 22 strikeouts) has allowed only one run and struck 10 batters over his past two stints on the mound. He will be up against the Guardians' batting lineup that has already recorded 170 runs – 7th in the majors this season.

Guardians LHP Logan Allen (3-2, 5.11 ERA with 67 strikeouts) has allowed six earned runs in 9.4 innings between his last two starts. He gets a chance to enhance his numbers against the Tigers, who are only hitting .223/.299/.355 this season.
