Will the Tigers Pounce on Victory at Guaranteed Rate Field?
As the Detroit Tigers prepare to face off against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field, fans are eager to see if their team can carry forward the momentum from their recent performances. The Tigers, with a 20-9 record, have shown resilience and an ability to capitalize on crucial moments.
In their last game against the Tampa Bay Rays on March 26th, despite managing only three hits and committing one error, they managed to secure three runs. This was largely due to a late rally in the eighth inning where they scored all three runs. The bullpen held up well with an ERA of 4.5 over four innings pitched and a WHIP of 1.0.
The hitting statistics from that game do raise some concerns though; with an average of .100 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .182, there's certainly room for improvement at bat. However, it's worth noting that when opportunities arose with runners in scoring position (RISP), they had a hit rate of 25 percent which contributed significantly to their victory.
Looking back further at their game against Tampa Bay Rays on March 24th in Lakeland shows a more robust performance by DET hitters who achieved eight hits leading to three runs scored while maintaining a solid fielding percentage of .974 despite one error.
However, it was during their encounter with Toronto Blue Jays on March 23rd that DET truly shone through both offensively and defensively. They amassed ten runs off nine hits including three home runs while maintaining tight defense throughout nine innings played – all this despite committing one error.
The upcoming match presents another opportunity for DET pitchers who have been showing promising signs lately; starters posted an impressive ERA of just 1.8 across five innings pitched in their last outing against TB Rays.
Chicago White Sox will not make it easy for them though as they come into this game looking for redemption after previous encounters between these two teams have been closely contested affairs.
Fans should keep an eye out for how DET manages its bullpen usage given its effectiveness recently but also be mindful that CWS hitters will be looking to exploit any weaknesses early on in the game.
With anticipation building up around this matchup scheduled for March 28th at 3:10 PM CT at Guaranteed Rate Field, fans can catch all the action live broadcasted by BSDET network – will we witness another thrilling chapter added to this rivalry? Only time will tell if Tigers can indeed pounce once more or if White Sox stand tall defending home turf advantage.
