The Detroit Tigers opened up their four-game road series at the Minnesota Twins on Monday night with a 7-3 loss. Casey Mize struggled in the frigid temperatures, while the bats also went cold.
Tuesday night offers an opportunity to knot things up with the Twinkies behind the best left-handed pitcher in the world, Tarik Skubal. So far, the southpaw has been nearly lights out, but unfortunately, that has not prevented him from being saddled with a loss already.
Hopefully, the offense can come alive behind the two-time consecutive Cy Young Award winner. But this is expected to be another cold one, with the high today reaching only 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Twinkies will be sending right-hander Taj Bradley, who has looked just as good as Skubes statistically so far in an extremely limited sample size. Here is how those two match up on Tuesday night.
