How to Watch Detroit Tigers and Rays Wednesday, Channel, Stream and Lineups
The Detroit Tigers are coming off a 2-1 series opening victory against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. The team, now 83-74 have moved into second place in the American League Wildcard race. After winning eight of their last ten games, including the current three game winning streak, the Tigers will look to pad their lead and ensure a postseason spot for October.
The Tigers will turn to the young and impressive Keider Montero (6-6, 4.86) to continue the winning streak. After going 14 straight innings without allowing a run, Montero had a setback in his last outing against the Baltimore Orioles. The rookie pitcher allowed five earned runs, including four home runs across 4.2 innings of work. He will look to bounce back in what is expected to be his final start of the regular season.
Montero will go up against right hander Zack Littell (8-9, 3.56) for the Rays. The 28-year-old will be making his 29th start of the season for Tampa Bay. He is coming off his eighth win of the season after throwing seven shutout innings against the Boston Red Sox on September 19th. He has now gone 18 straight innings without allowing a run in his starts.
