Game Overview
The Texas Rangers host the Detroit Tigers in Game 3 of their series. The Rangers have won the first two games with strong pitching performances, shutting out the Tigers in both. The Tigers are relying on Tarik Skubal, the 2024 AL Cy Young winner, who has been performing well with a 10-3 record and a 2.23 ERA this season.
