After opening the 2026 campaign with a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres, the Detroit Tigers are in danger of getting swept in their second series of the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix.
The first two games have resulted in a 9-6 loss on Monday night and a 7-5 loss
on Tuesday night. Wednesday afternoon’s finale brings hope to the Motor City Kitties as their ace takes the mound.The sixth game of the year sees the starting rotation reset and brings up Tarik Skubal, who carved
the Padres up in a six-inning shutout effort in his first appearance. He will go up against Zac Gallen, whose 2026 debut was one to forget.
