Detroit Tigers
Michael Fulmer gets the start on the mound for the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. Fulmer is 1-0 this season. Through 12 innings of work, he has a 2.25 ERA with 11 strikeouts and three walks.
Detroit is off to a good start this season, sitting atop the AL Central. However, the defense has been suspect at times. The Tigers have given up 10 or more runs three times already this season.

Offensively, the team has yet to score more than seven runs and averages about 4.5 runs per game.
Right fielder Tyler Collins has been the best batter thus far for Detroit. In 32 plate appearances, he is batting .355 with a home run and two RBIs along with 11 hits.
