June 19 - Two pitchers who rank among the league leaders in ERA will square off on Wednesday afternoon when the Atlanta Braves go for a three-game sweep of the visiting Detroit Tigers.
The starting matchup features Detroit southpaw Tarik Skubal (8-2, 2.20 ERA) against Atlanta right-hander Reynaldo Lopez (4-2, 1.69).
Skubal ranks fourth in the American League in ERA. Lopez would sit first in the National League in ERA but has pitched only 69 1/3 innings, leaving him 1 2/3 innings shy of qualifying for the league-leader list.
The Braves have taken the first two games of the series by identical 2-1 scores and have won five of their past six games overall.
