PHOENIX (Interstat) — The Detroit Tigers, riding early momentum, look to continue their strong start when they visit the struggling Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday at Chase Field.

First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. PDT. The Tigers (2-1) took the series opener 1-0 on Monday in a pitching duel. Detroit has won two of three to open the season, while Arizona (0-3) seeks its first victory after being swept in Los Angeles.

The pitching matchup features right-handers Casey Mize for Detroit and Brandon Pfaadt for Arizona. Mize will make his first start of 2026. Pfaadt will also make his season debut.

A key player to watch for the Tigers is reliever Connor Seabold, who provided 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief in Saturday’s 3-0 loss at San Diego. For the Diamondbacks, starter Eduardo Rodriguez turned in a quality outing his last time out, throwing five shutout innings against the Dodgers on Saturday despite taking the loss in a 3-2 defeat.

The Tigers’ offense will aim to rebound after being held to one run and three hits in Monday’s win. Arizona’s lineup has mustered only 10 runs total through its first three games.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the Tigers are projected to win 4-1. Detroit has been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -1.5. The over/under for total runs is set at 9.

Following Tuesday’s contest, the two teams will conclude their brief series Wednesday before both embark on extended stretches against division opponents. Detroit hosts St. Louis for three games starting Friday, while Arizona welcomes Atlanta for a four-game set beginning Thursday.
