The Detroit Tigers find themselves in a challenging position as they head into Game 13 of the season, desperate to avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Twins. After a tough road trip that has seen them lose three consecutive games, the Tigers are looking to turn the tide following an 8-6 defeat on Wednesday night.

On the mound for Detroit is Jack Flaherty, who aims to deliver a strong performance to halt the team’s downward spiral. Flaherty, who holds an 0-1 record with a 7.56 ERA, is under pressure to find his footing against a solid Twins lineup. His counterpart, Mick Abel, will take the rubber for Minnesota, seeking to improve his own record of 0-2 and an ERA of 11.05.

With the game scheduled for 1:40 p.m. ET at Target Field in Minneapolis, fans can catch the action on Detroit SportsNet, MLB.TV, and the Tigers Radio Network. Both teams are eager to establish momentum, but it is the Tigers who must rise to the occasion to avoid further disappointment.
