Detroit Tigers at Arizona Diamondbacks
PHOENIX (Interstat) — The Detroit Tigers and Arizona Diamondbacks will conclude their three-game series at Chase Field on Wednesday afternoon, with first pitch scheduled for 12:40 p.m. local time.
The Tigers (2-2) and Diamondbacks (1-3) split the first two games of the set, with Arizona winning 9-6 on Monday before Tuesday’s contest was postponed.
Detroit will send right-hander Zac Gallen (0-1) to the mound. Gallen, a former Diamondback, will face his old club for the second time in four days after taking the loss in Monday’s series opener. He allowed four runs in five innings in that outing.
Arizona will counter with right-hander Michael Soroka, who was brilliant in relief on Monday. Soroka entered in the fourth inning and threw five scoreless frames, allowing four hits and striking out 10 to earn the win. He has not made a start this season.
A player to watch for Detroit is designated hitter Colt Keith, who is 6 for 14 (.429) with two RBIs over his last four games. He drove in two runs in Monday’s loss.
For Arizona, outfielder Corbin Carroll looks to build on his four-RBI performance from Monday, which included a home run.
According to Interstat’s game simulator, the Tigers are projected to win 4-1.
Following the game, the Diamondbacks begin a four-game home series against the Atlanta Braves on Thursday. The Tigers travel to St. Louis to open a three-game series with the Cardinals on Friday.
