On Wednesday night, the Detroit Tigers will finish their series with the Cleveland Guardians (at home).
The Tigers have lost each of the first two games in the series, so they will look to avoid getting swept.
Also on Wednesday, Tigers star Justin Verlander threw a simulated game in the latest step of his recovery from injury.
