The Pittsburgh Pirates will play the Detroit Tigers for the second time in two nights, aiming to avenge a 3-7 loss in Game 1 on Wednesday at Comerica Park.

The Pirates have fallen three games in a row following 3-7 loss to the Tigers as frustration on their unproductive offense continues to mound. Averaging 3.2 runs per game this season, Pittsburgh’s offensive struggle has reached another level of despair as they average 1.9 runs per game on a .153 batting average over their last five games.

The Tigers got a solid outing from Casey Mize, who surrendered 5 hits and 2 earned runs over six innings. Detroit has pitched a 5.00 ERA and batted 5.7 runs per game on a .268 batting average over their last five games, during which they have gone 3-2. The Tigers are No.1 in the AL Central with a 47-27 record.
