The Tigers (4-4) enter Sunday’s 1:40 p.m. matchup at Comerica Park looking to secure a series win after splitting the first two games of the weekend. The White Sox (2-6) are trying to avoid their third straight series loss.

Eyes on the Future: Jackson Jobe Gets the Ball
Jobe, one of the Tigers’ top pitching prospects, gets the nod on Sunday in what many fans are hoping will be another glimpse into the future of Detroit’s rotation. In his first start of the season, which came against the Mariners, Jobe gave up three runs on three hits while striking out three and walking four in four innings of work.
With Tarik Skubal and Jack Flaherty anchoring the rotation, Jobe’s emergence could be a major boost as the Tigers aim to contend in the AL Central.
Fans can catch the game live at 1:40 p.m. ET on Fanduel Sports Detroit or tune in via 97.1 The Ticket and 1310 AM/107.9 FM (Español).
