Padres Challenge at Comerica Park


As they prepare to face the San Diego Padres at Comerica Park on April 22nd, the Tigers will need to leverage their pitching prowess to counteract San Diego's offensive threats. The venue could play a crucial role; its grass surface and outdoor setting may favor pitchers who can keep ground balls low.

The Padres will be looking to capitalize on any defensive lapses by Detroit, as evidenced by occasional errors seen in past games. However, if Detroit's bullpen continues its dominant form and hitters find consistency at bat, they stand a good chance against San Diego.
