    The Detroit Tigers, who secured home-court advantage with a stunning 3-0 victory in Game 2 of the ALDS, are looking to come within a whisker of winning the best-of-five in their first playoff game at Comerica Park in a decade. series approach.

    Once again, Tigers manager AJ Hinch was cautious about announcing his starter for Game 3; He only told reporters Tuesday that two pitchers were unavailable: left-hander Tarik Skubal, who threw seven scoreless innings in a no-decision Game 2, and right-hander Reese Olson, who threw five innings of relief in the Tigers’ game 1 loss .

    The Tigers finally landed on rookie right-hander Keider Montero to get the start after he showed he had made some progress in resolving some mistakes by throwing two innings in Game 1 with three strikeouts didn’t allow any runs.

    The Guardians, meanwhile, will add 13-year veteran Alex Cobb to the team. The right-hander has made two postseason appearances, in 2013 with the Tampa Bay Rays. He only started three times this season due to injuries. The most recent of these is a blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand that cost him most of the final month of the season.

    First pitch for Game 3 is at 3:08 p.m. at Comerica Park in Detroit. The game will be broadcast on TBS and available to stream on Sling. According to BetMGM, the Tigers are a slight moneyline favorite at -115.

    Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Guardians Game 3 Live Updates, Highlights

    ∎ Box score.

    Lower fifth: Hurter replaced; Beau Brieske secures the Tigers’ 2-0 lead

    Hurter was replaced on the mound by Beau Brieske after giving up back-to-back singles to Brayan Rocchio and Kwan, putting the Guardians in position to take the lead in a tie.

    Brieske fared better, striking out Fry before José Ramírez flied out to center field to end the inning and preserve Detroit’s lead. Hurter finished the day with a strikeout, five hits and a walk.

    With runners on first and second, two outs and the score 3-2, Greene flied out to left field and was unable to extend the Tigers’ narrow lead.

    Bottom 4: The score remains 2-0 after both sides played well

    Hurter had his own “three up and three down” as he recorded outs against Lane Thomas, Andrés Giménez and Jhonkensy Noel to tie the game at 2-0 in the bottom of the inning.

    Guardians pitcher Eric Sabrowski made his first appearance of the series, escaping a jam and recording three outs after a fielding error by first baseman Josh Naylor allowed Pérez to reach second for a leadoff double. Sabrowski struck out back-to-back strikes to Colt Keith and Spencer Torkelson, and Trey Sweeney flied out to left field.

    The Tigers had a runner in scoring position in three of the first four innings of this game.

    Lower Third: Matt Vierling extends lead with sac fly; The Tigers lead 2-0

    Hurter returned to pitch the third inning and gave up a single to Steven Kwan on a grounder to Trey Sweeney, who picked up the ball barehanded after initially being deflected by Hurter’s glove. A false throw to first by Sweeney then allowed Kwan to advance to second base.

    However, the Guardians remained scoreless after Hurter struck out David Fry for his first K of the day and Naylor grounded out for Cleveland’s third out. They left two of them on base after Hurter intentionally walked José Ramírez.

    Jake Rodgers set up the Tigers’ second run of the day with a line-drive double to left field. With one out, Matt Vierling then scored Rodgers with a sacrifice fly to left field to give the home team additional cushion.

    Bottom 2: Brant Hurter escapes the traffic jam

    Tigers left-hander Brant Hurter replaced Montero to start the second inning.

    Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor hit a single on a line drive to right field, and Lane Thomas hit a single on a ground ball to center field. With runners on first and third, Hurter delivered an eight-pitch AB with Bo Naylor, who hit a fly ball to right fielder Wenceel Pérez for the final out.

    The Tigers remained scoreless in the bottom of the inning. Alex Cobb recorded three outs without a batter reaching first base.

    Bottom 1: Riley Greene scores an RBI single; The Tigers lead 1-0

    Parker Meadows got the game’s first hit with a sharp groundball to right field for a leadoff single. He became the first Tiger since Al Kaline in 1968 to score in each of his first five postseason games.

    The Tigers then scored their first run of the day – with two outs, Riley Greene hit an RBI single up the middle to score Meadows.

    Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Guardians Game 3 pregame

    TRENDING: Freep’s Tigers beat writer is noticeably absent from the coverage. Here’s why.

    While Carpenter’s 423-foot shot got all the attention, it wouldn’t have gotten to the plate against Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase if shortstop Trey Sweeney hadn’t reached base first. Sweeney, of course, came to the Tigers as a prospect who was part of the deal that sent right-hander Jack Flaherty to the Los Angeles Dodgers. But the Freep’s Jeff Seidel says the shortstop is anything but a throw-in.

    Comerica Park will almost certainly rock its first playoff game since Oct. 5, 2014 — a 2-1 loss ended a win over the Baltimore Orioles in the ALDS. The Tigers haven’t won a playoff game at Comerica since Oct. 16, 2013 – a Game 5 victory over the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS. However, according to the Freep’s Shawn Windsor, you can expect a raucous crowd enjoying the kind of playoff run that only happens once in a generation.

    At least for the Tigers. As Dave Birkett of the Freep points out this morning, the Tigers’ near-miraculous recovery from a 10-game deficit on August 10 is similar to that of the 2022 Lions, who bounced back from a 1-7 start to narrowly miss the playoffs and the result came from a team that won a franchise-record 14 games (including the postseason) last season and is one of the leading candidates for its first Super Bowl this season.
