Garrett Hill, who is 1-2 with a 5.63 ERA in his three starts, will take the mound Tuesday for Detroit. In his previous start, Hill threw five innings, allowing five hits and three earned runs while punching out four in a 5-0 loss.
The Padres' offense hasn't been great over their last seven, as they've averaged just 3.6 runs per game over that stretch. Hill is hittable, though, so look for San Diego to try and find an offensive spark on Tuesday.
San Diego will trot out Mike Clevinger for Tuesday's contest. He is 2-3 with a 3.25 ERA as a starter. He's pitched out of the bullpen a handful of times, but he has been reliable this year in his regular starting role.
This Tigers lineup is ranked #30 in runs per game and home runs, and they're 29th in OPS. Last outing, Clevinger threw six innings, giving up four hits and one earned run while fanning eight. The right-hander's recent performances have been less than encouraging, as he's surrendered nine earned runs in his past 17 1/3 innings.
Mike Clevinger, Multitasking.

Javier Baez will be facing righty Mike Clevinger on Tuesday, and in same-handed matchups, he has been terrible, sporting a .535 OPS. Baez is batting just .204 against hard-throwing righties like Clevinger since 2021, and his home OPS is just .481. Even though he's batting third, expect him to have trouble against Clevinger.
