The Tigers continued their hot start and now sit with the best record in the majors with 11 wins. They’ll look to continue their winning ways as the Yankees look to get back to the .500 mark on Tuesday.
New York Yankees
The Yankees got back to the .500 mark prior to their series with the Tigers with a sweep of the Tampa Rays. Now, they’ll once again have to battle back to the break-even mark as they hope to even up the series with the Tigers on Tuesday night. New York got a Mark Teixeira 3rd inning home run, but that was all the offense they could manufacture as they hit into some poor timed double plays late in the game.
The Yankees will send RH Nathan Eovaldi to the mound in hopes of grabbing a win. Eovaldi has received a no decision in both starts this season, with the Yankees losing both in the end.
In his first start, he went 5.1, allowing 8 hits and 3 runs. The game went an epic 19 innings with the Red Sox winning 6-5 in the end.
In his second start, Eovaldi went 5 and fly allowing 8 hits and 2 runs. The Yankees went on to lose to Baltimore 7-5.
In one career start against the Tigers, the right hander went 6 innings, allowing just 1 run on 6 hits in another no decision.

The Yankees will hope to get back to hitting, as they were averaging 5.3 runs a game prior to Monday’s 1 run effort.
Detroit Tigers
After losing Max Scherzer in the offseason, the Tigers rotation was a big question mark coming into the season. However, the Tigers starting pitching has been filthy this year. The starting rotation is currently 9-2 with a 2.37 ERA. They’ll look for another solid performance when they send the youngers, Kyle Lobstein.
Lobstein brings a 1-0 record into the contest. Lobstein has made one start on the season and he defeated division rival Cleveland in an 8-5 decision. Lobstein went 5 and fly as well allowing 8 hits and 3 runs in the win.
Lobstein faced the Yankees once last season, going 6 innings allowing just 2 runs on 4 hits. The south paw received a no decision in the effort.
