The Orioles are six games behind the Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East division. They need to keep winning to keep their slim hopes of making the playoffs alive.

"BATTLED BACK" - Orioles
The Orioles will likely start Tyler Wells on the mound. He has an ERA of 3.93, a 1.10 WHIP, and an overall record of 7-6. This will be his 23rd start of the season and second against the Tigers. In his previous outing against the Tigers, he gave up three runs on eight hits in 4.0 IP. He hasn't struck out a lot of hitters but will be looking to command authority against a sub-par Tigers unit.
The Tigers, meanwhile, could give the ball to LHP Tyler Alexander. As a relief pitcher, this will be his 14th start of the season. He has had zero saves so far and is 3-10 overall. Alexander has struggled with his performances on the mound. It will be a tough outing for him, but he will look to give his team a decent start.
