Tigers Face Do-or-Die Battle to Even Series Against Reds in High-Stakes Game 29 Showdown

Tigers Face Do-or-Die Battle to Even Series Against Reds in High-Stakes Game 29 Showdown

The Detroit Tigers stumbled in their series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, falling 9-8 in a heart-wrenching walk-off after holding an early advantage and enduring a lengthy two-hour rain delay. But Saturday’s game brings fresh hope as the Tigers lean on right-hander Framber Montero to bounce back on the road in the Queen City. At just 25, Montero’s emergence has injected new life into this Motor City squad, stepping up magnificently after filling the shoes of the aging Justin Verlander. In only four starts, he’s already notched a win above replacement, proving he’s no ordinary young pitcher. Montero’s only prior encounter with the Reds saw him pitch five innings last year, giving up a couple of runs on seven hits but also stranding his team with four strikeouts in an 11-5 victory at home. On the mound opposite him will be Cincinnati’s promising righty Brett Lowder, who’s been steady in his sophomore season and is set to face the Tigers for the very first time. Expect a high-stakes duel broadcast nationally on FOX, spotlighting these two rising pitchers as they vie for dominance. LEARN MORE
