The Detroit Tigers come into their weekend against the Seattle Mariners off their third straight series win. The Tigers are 7-2 in May and have won every series they have played against non-American League East teams posting a 15-5 record in those series. The Mariners play in the American League West so the Tigers will look to continue that streak this weekend in this series. The Tigers currently are in second place in the American League Central by a half-game and in the wild-card chase, they are 3.5 games out of the final spot with these same Mariners sitting just a half-game ahead of them.

Alex Faedo will be making his second start of the season after being called up last weekend to make his first start of the season on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Faedo did not factor in the decision against the Cardinals but he pitched well in his first start of the season with the Tigers going 4.2 innings giving up three runs, two of which were earned on three hits; he didn't issue a walk and struck out one. Before being called up last weekend Faedo had pitched for the Tigers AAA affiliate the Toledo Mud Hens making five starts and posting an 0-1 record with a 2.50 ERA in 18 innings of work. Faedo will be opposed by Bryce Miller who is the 87th-ranked prospect and the Mariners' second-ranked prospect. Miller is making his third start of his career in the majors; he picked up his first win of his career in his last start against the Astros going six innings giving up just two hits; he did not allow a run and he walked one and struck out five.

Game 3: Joey Wentz (1-3, 6.09 ERA) v. Logan Gilbert (1-2, 3.79 ERA)

Joey Wentz will get the ball in the finale against the Mariners on Sunday. Wentz is making his eighth start of the season, he is coming off a game against the Guardians on Monday in which he picked up his first win of the season going 5.2 innings giving up two runs on three hits; he walked three and struck out five. Wentz's best three starts this season have ironically all come when he's lasted just 5.2 innings, two of which he did not factor in the decision, and the third was his first win. Wentz will take on the Mariners ace in Logan Gilbert who just picked up his second loss of the season in a start against the Texas Rangers in which he gave up two runs on three hits in 6.2 innings of work, Gilbert did not pitch badly in that start he just did not get any run support from the Mariners offense as they lost 2-1.
