Detroit Tigers fans will be hoping for a win on Sunday, as the team wraps up a three-game series with the division-rival Cleveland Indians. Shane Greene will oppose Carlos Carrasco.

Detroit Tigers players have had trouble stringing together wins as of late. The Tigers started the season 6-2 through eight games. However, the team has gone just 2-6 over the last eight.

The sky certainly isn’t falling yet—a .500 stretch somewhere in the middle of the season would be viewed much differently—but the Tigers do need to turn it around soon.

Detroit has a chance to do just that on Sunday as Shane Greene takes the hill. The starting pitcher will oppose Carlos Carrasco of Cleveland. After Kyle Ryan, Alex Wilson and Blaine Hardy combined to finish off the game on Saturday, totaling 5.2 innings. Because of this, it will be imperative for Greene to get deeper into the game. If he can pitch like he did in Pittsburgh, the Tigers will have a chance to win. 

Even if Greene fires nine innings of shutout baseball, Detroit needs to score some runs to win. Moving Justin Upton down in the order is a possibility jump start the offense given his high strikeout rate so far. However, Upton does have a home run in three career at-bats against Carrasco.

Here’s how the lineup might look. Hopefully the team will score some more runs after managing just four in the last four games.

  1. Ian Kinsler, 2B
  2. Justin Upton, LF
  3. Miguel Cabrera, 1B
  4. Victor Martinez, DH
  5. J.D. Martinez, RF
  6. Nick Castellanos, 3B
  7. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C
  8. Anthony Gose, CF
  9. Jose Iglesias, SS

This has been the Detroit Tigers lineup for most of the season, and it probably won’t change. Detroit’s offense will turn it around eventually, the hitters are simply too good. Hopefully the beginning of that turnaround is Sunday.
