Tigers, Brewers Set for Afternoon Finale at Comerica

DETROIT (Interstat) — The Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers will wrap up their three-game series with an afternoon contest Thursday at Comerica Park.

First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. EDT under cloudy skies with a game-time temperature near 73 degrees.

The series is split, with the Brewers rolling to a 12-4 victory Tuesday before the Tigers responded with a 4-1 win Wednesday.

Milwaukee (13-9) will send right-hander Brandon Sproat (0-1, 4.50 ERA) to the mound. Sproat, making his third start, seeks his first win. He will be opposed by Detroit left-hander Tarik Skubal (3-2, 3.18 ERA), who has been a consistent force in the Tigers’ rotation.

A player to watch for Milwaukee is second baseman Brice Turang. He drove in four runs in Tuesday’s win and is 9 for 33 (.273) with three home runs and 11 RBIs over his last 10 games.

For Detroit (12-12), right-hander Keider Montero will be a key figure out of the bullpen. He started against the Brewers on Tuesday, allowing three runs over 5 2/3 innings. In his last three appearances, spanning 17 innings, he has a 3.18 ERA with 15 strikeouts.

According to Interstat, the projection model favors the Tigers with a predicted final score of 7-5. Detroit has been installed as a -1.5 run favorite, and the over/under for total runs is set at 7.

Following the game, the Brewers return home to open a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. The Tigers hit the road to begin a series against the Cincinnati Reds.
