Inside the Article:
The Detroit Tigers come into this critical series against the Cleveland Guardians off another series victory. The Tigers have been fun to watch having won six of their last ten games and they've outscored their opponents 51 to 49 over those ten games. On Sunday they saw their five-game winning streak snapped by the Cardinals, however, over the course of their winning, they have moved to within a half-game of the Guardians for second place in the American League Central which is what makes this series so important for the Tigers. The Tigers also took two of three from Cleveland just three weeks ago.
DETROIT TIGERS (15-18) vs. CLEVELAND GUARDIANS (16-18)
Game 1: Joey Wentz (0-3, 6.67 ERA) v. Tanner Bibee (1-0, 2.45 ERA)
Date: Monday, May 8
Time: 6:10 PM
Broadcast: Bally Sports Detroit
Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
Joey Wentz is making his seventh start of the season as he is trying to figure his stuff out having struggled to this point of the season. His best start to date came April 27th against the Orioles when he went 5.2 innings giving up two runs on four hits. Wentz has given up five or more runs in three of six starts this season, which is not an ideal start to his 2023 season. Tanner Bibee will oppose Wentz, making his third career start; Bibee is the 57th-rated prospect and the Guardians' fifth-rated prospect.

Game 2: Michael Lorenzen (1-1, 5.14 ERA) v. Shane Bieber (2-1, 2.96 ERA)
Date: Tuesday, May 9
Time: 6:10 PM
Broadcast: Bally Sports Detroit
Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
Michael Lorenzen is making his fifth start of the season for the Tigers. He last pitched last Wednesday against the Mets and turned in a dominant performance going seven innings and giving up one run on four hits. That start against the Mets was the first time this season Lorenzen has gone more than five innings and it was certainly a great time as that helped lead the Tigers to a series sweep over the Mets. Shane Bieber will go against Lorenzen; Bieber has returned to his 2020 form when he won the American League Cy Young.

Game 3: Eduardo Rogriguez (3-2, 1.81 ERA) v. Peyton Battenfield (0-3, 4.07 ERA)
Date: Wednesday, May 10
Time: 1:10 PM
Broadcast: Bally Sports Detroit | MLB Network
Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
The Tigers ace will take the ball for the finale. Eduardo Rodriguez has been one of the best pitchers in baseball over his last five starts; in those last five starts, he allowed just two runs in a total of 34.2 innings of work which has helped lower his ERA to 1.81 as he enters this game. Rodriguez’s WHIP this season has been outstanding as he has a 0.78. He faced the Guardians on April 18th and picked up his first win of the season; he dominated the Cleveland lineup going eight innings allowing just four hits and the Tigers won that game 1-0. Similar to that matchup on April 18th Rogriguez will pitch against Peyton Battenfield who matched Eduardo for six innings only difference was he gave up a run which led to his first loss of the season.
