The Detroit Tigers will take on the Athletics in the second game of a three-game series today at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, CA. Fans can catch the action on the MLB Network at the game’s scheduled start time, 10:05 p.m. EST. Detroit came into the series fresh off a loss to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, 10-8.  Tarik Skubal pitched a solid game (6 2/3 innings, seven hits, one earned run, 12 strikeouts) for the Tigers and had a 3-1 lead when he left the game. But the bullpen gave up five runs in the bottom of the seventh to give the A’s the lead for good.
