Pitching Probables for Indians-Tigers Set, Tribe Starting Nine for Friday Night

The Indians and Tigers will get back on the diamond for the second time already in 2021 starting on Friday evening at Progressive Field. Zach Plesac gets his second start this season for the Tribe, looking to rebound after a 5-2 loss last Saturday in which he allowed two runs on six hits.

The Indians and Tigers are set for their second three-game series of 2021 this weekend, this time at Progressive Field following an icebox series last week in Comerica Park in Detroit.

The Tigers took two of three from the Indians, winning the first and second games of the three-game set before a couple long balls by the Tribe on Easter Sunday led the Indians to a much needed 9-3 win.
