The Tigers will play at home Wednesday in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Cleveland Guardians since October 5, 2014, losing 2-1 in Game 3 to the Baltimore Orioles to end their season in the ALDS. The series was tied after Kerry Carpenter’s three-run home run gave the Tigers a 3-0 victory on Monday in Cleveland. The Tigers have just one pitcher in their rotation they fully trust in Tarik Skubal, who dominated Monday in Game 2. They have been using an opener and bulk reliever strategy since the end of July, when they traded No. 2 starter Jack Flaherty to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Tigers used “strike zone bully” Tyler Holton as the Opener in two non-Skubal starts. That didn’t work on Saturday afternoon, when all four Guardians batters got on base against the 28-year-old. But the Tigers likely won’t select right-handed pitcher Beau Brieske, an offseason favorite; He appeared to be the game-ender after winning Monday at Cleveland and getting the win in both wins over the Astros in the playoff series. The 26-year-old pitched 3⅓ no-hitter innings, walked twice and struck out three hits.
