LAST MATCH:Detroit Tigers drop five games under .500 for first time with 2-1 loss to Atlanta Braves

Game Notes: It’s not often that Tarik Skubal faces a pitcher who has a lower ERA than him, but that’s exactly what will happen Wednesday as the Tigers try to avoid a sweep against the Atlanta Braves.

Reynaldo López’s ERA has never gone above 2 at any time this year, his first with the Atlanta Braves. He will provide an extremely tough challenge to a Tigers team that hasn’t been able to mount offense consistently since Kerry Carpenter was removed from the lineup with a back injury.

With one exception, a 13-run win over the Houston Astros last weekend, the Tigers’ offense has remained completely anemic. The only surefire way the offense has produced this year has been when Tarik Skubal has been on the mound. The team is 10-4 in Skubal’s 14 starts this year and has averaged 5.36 points per game in those contests.

However, in Skubal’s last start, the Tigers were shut out as Skubal had an uncharacteristic four-run game. As Skubal looks to bounce back and continue winning the American League Cy Young Award, you know the Braves will have his full attention. Expect another potential pitching duel as two of baseball’s hottest pitchers take the mound in the Georgia heat Wednesday afternoon.
