The Detroit Tigers seek for their third straight win as they open a three-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday at Comerica Park. The 16-12 Tigers are second in the American League Central standings just three games behind the 19-9 Cleveland Guardians. After winning their last two home games against the New York Mets, Detroit has improved their home slate to 6-8 with three games left in their current home stand. The Cardinals remain at the bottom of the National League Central ladder with 13-15 record, but they have won four of their last six road games to improve their away record to 8-8. Cardinals RHP Kyle Gibson (2-2, 4.35 ERA with 20Ks) is slated for his sixth start this season, taking on the Tigers that are hitting .223/.298/.352 with 111 runs. Tigers RHP Jack Flaherty (0-1, 4.91 ERA with 36Ks) will also make his sixth start and he will face the Cardinals that sport almost similar batting line as the Tigers with .217/.300/.336 with 100 runs.
