The Tigers finish the series behind Wily Peralta, who’s making his second start of the season. Detroit is winding down a solid month of baseball, having played .500 ball (13-12) heading into the three-game set with Cleveland. Next, the Tigers head back home for a trio of games with the White Sox. Detroit will try to win its first series (0-3) of the year vs. Chicago. Cleveland will counter Wednesday with Cal Quantrill (23 appearances, five starts). After the Tigers head home, the Houston Astros come to Cleveland.
