Tonight at 10:05 p.m. ET, the Detroit Tigers (28-20) and Los Angeles Angels (23-24) take the field at Angel Stadium of Anaheim for the opening meeting of a four-game series.
Detroit has won two straight games as it closes out a seven-match trip through California with this series while Los Angeles has dropped two consecutive contests as it resumes a 10-game homestand.
The Tigers took two out of three games from the Oakland Athletics to start their road trip and are coming in on the heels of a 3-2 victory on Wednesday. The Angels dropped a pair of games in their three-match set with the San Diego Padres, including a 5-4 loss on Wednesday.
