Usually if the Tigers seen any team this often this early in the season, it would be divisional rivals like the Indians or Royals. Instead, the Tigers are seeing the Cincinnati Reds for the second time in as many weeks, after a fairly successful (and maybe slightly lucky?) first series.
The first time out the Tigers were on the ropes against Reds starting pitchers, who packed a wallop with strikeouts, but were able to surge to victory against the bullpen. This time around Detroit will hope for similar success.
We talked to Wick Terrell, managing editor of our Reds sister site Red Reporter, about what lessons the team hopefully gleaned from their last outing and a generally rough start to the season, and the age old question: can we have Eugenio Suarez back?
