Game notes: After an off day on Monday, the Tigers are back in action on Tuesday night, this time headed to the National League. Before a 10-game homestand begins on Friday, the Tigers will face the Pirates in a short two-game set at PNC Park.
The Pirates enter Tuesday night's game third in the NL Central, far better than some expected of a club that has sat near the bottom of the division in previous seasons. The Tigers will have Tarik Skubal on the mound who is looking to continue his stellar start to the season. In six starts where Skubal has pitched longer than six innings, he's picked up all four of his wins.
Tigers lineup:
LF Willi Castro
2B Jonathan Schoop
DH Miguel Cabrera
SS Javier Baez
RF Austin Meadows
1B Spencer Torkelson
CF Daz Cameron
C Tucker Barnhart
3B Harold Castro
P Tarik Skubal
