The Detroit Tigers, who secured home-court advantage with an impressive 3-0 win 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 in relief in the Tigers' game 1 loss .

The Tigers ended up landing rookie right-hander Keider Montero to start after he showed he had made some progress in overcoming some issues in Game 1, throwing two innings and allowing no runs with three strikeouts.

The Guardians, meanwhile, will add 13-year veteran Alex Cobb to the team. The right-hander 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 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 the Freep's Dave Birkett 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.
