Alexander, with his impressive infield skills and batting average of .250 across recent games, has been a beacon of consistency for the Diamondbacks. His performance in the field has been flawless, maintaining a perfect fielding percentage in the last game, showcasing his defensive prowess.
On the other side, Spencer Torkelson of the Tigers has not only demonstrated his ability at first base but also made significant contributions with his bat.

His performance has been crucial for the Tigers, making him a player to watch in the upcoming game.
The Diamondbacks have seen notable performances from other players as well. Kevin Newman stood out with an astonishing .800 batting average and an OPS of 2.0 in one of the past games, highlighting his offensive capabilities. Meanwhile, Ryan Thompson's pitching has been stellar with an ERA of 0.0 and nine strikeouts per nine innings in one game, contributing significantly to the team's defense.
