The pitching staff has been relatively solid; during their game on April 19 against KC Royals, they held opponents to a batting average of just .176. The bullpen has been particularly effective in maintaining low opponent averages and preventing runs.


Astros' Challenge


Facing off against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park presents its own set of challenges for DET. HOU is known for its robust lineup capable of turning any game around quickly.
