The Tigers lost two of three to the Los Angeles Dodgers before an off day Monday and postponement Tuesday. The Pirates only won one game in their last series vs. the San Diego Padres.
The Tigers beat the Pirates in Game 1, thanks to some shoddy Pittsburgh defense and solid bullpen work from Detroit.
