Minnesota vs Detroit Game Analysis

Minnesota

Simeon Woods Richardson (3 wins, 1 loss, 3.41 ERA) is challenging for his 4th win of the season. Richardson, who secured a win with 5.1 innings and 3 runs allowed against Arizona on the 27th, had a record of 1 win and 1 loss with a 4.50 ERA in June. Although he achieved a victory with 6 innings, 2 hits, and 1 run allowed in an away game against Detroit on April 14th, Richardson now is a bit different from then. In Monday's game, Minnesota's lineup, which scored 5 points against Castillo and Stanek, including Trevor Larnach’s decisive 2-run homer, often shows its power through home runs even on the road. Trevor Larnach played a significant role as the third batter with 2 hits and 3 RBIs including a clinching home run. The bullpen allowed 1 run in 3.1 innings, but it was unfortunate that this run resulted in a tie.

Detroit

Tarik Skubal (9 wins, 3 losses, 2.32 ERA) is challenging for his 10th win of the season. Skubal secured a win with 7 innings, 3 hits, and no runs allowed in a home game against Philadelphia on the 26th, continuing his unbeaten performance in night games. He achieved a victory with 5 innings, 2 hits, and no runs allowed in a home game against Minnesota on April 13th and since he is a very strong pitcher in night games with 5 wins and 1 loss and a 1.48 ERA, the possibility of him pitching well is very high. Detroit's lineup, which scored 7 points including 2 home runs by targeting Tyler Anderson in Monday's game, is starting to regain their batting form on the road, which is encouraging. As indicated by 2 home runs and 5 RBIs, this team also needs home runs to succeed. However, Shelby Miller, who allowed 5 runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, seems to need major adjustments.

Comment

Woods Richardson might be a suitable pitcher for Target Field. However, considering his recent pitching, it might not be easy to stop Detroit's lineup. While Minnesota has a reputation for being good against left-handers recently, Skubal is a pitcher who has already surpassed that, and Detroit's winning roster can be trusted. The Detroit Tigers, with a stronger starting pitcher, are closer to victory.
