The Detroit Tigers are set to shake things up at Fenway Park, where they'll face off against the Boston Red Sox at 11:10 AM. Jack Flaherty, the Tigers' right-handed pitcher, will take on Sonny Gray, the Red Sox's righty, in a battle of, well, not exactly aces. The Tigers have a slightly better record than the Red Sox, standing at 11-10 compared to Boston's 8-12. Detroit's team ERA of 3.34 is a nice contrast to the Red Sox's 4.26 - basically, the Tigers are the ones trying to keep the ERA party from getting out of hand.
The pitching matchup isn't exactly a marquee event, but it's a showdown nonetheless: Jack Flaherty boasts a 0-1 record with a 4.05 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP, while Sonny Gray has a 2-1 record with a 4.43 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. The Tigers have a few players on the injury list, including Scott Effross and Tyler Owens, both on the 7-Day IL. The Red Sox aren't exactly swimming in health either.
