Louis Cardinals?"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Detroit Tigers<\/a> evened their three-game road series with the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> on Tuesday night despite a shaky start from Tarik Skubal. Thanks to some late-inning heroics from Riley Greene, the good guys ultimately emerged with a 5-4 victory<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The win maintained the Motor City Kitties\u2019 1.5-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> for the best record in baseball while tacking a half-game onto their lead in the American League Central over the Minnesota Twins<\/a>, giving them a five-game advantage in the division. <\/p>\n

Offensively, Detroit ranks seventh in the majors in batting average (.259) and on-base percentage (.330), and sixth in slugging (.423), which adds up to a fifth-ranked OPS of .753. Pitching-wise, the Tigers are sixth in ERA (3.37), eighth in WHIP (1.18) and tied for seventh in batting average against (.229) with the New York Mets<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Speaking of pitching, Brant Hurter gets a shot at starting for the visitors due to some injuries in the rotation, while the home team sends Andre Pallante to the bump. Here is how they match up.<\/p>\n
