On their first winning streak in a month, the Tigers aim for the series sweep against the division leading Rays
Following a blowout win, the Detroit Tigers aim for their first series sweep since mid-April as they take on the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday afternoon in a matinee matchup between the American League squads. The Rays come into humpday leading the AL East standings despite losing seven of their last nine games and having been shutout for the second time in a week and a half as they turn to veteran right-hander Nick Martinez (5-1, 1.62 ERA) in search of his fourth win in his last six starts. The Tigers will send second-year right-hander Troy Melton (1-0, 1.42 ERA) in just his third start of 2026, all of which have come on the road.
