  • On Monday, the Detroit Tigers and Pittsburgh Pirates begin a 3-game series at PNC Park, marking their first meeting in 2026.
  • Tigers' recent 3-game losing streak against the Chicago White Sox leaves them 5 1/2 games out in the American League Central with a 60-64 record.
  • Pittsburgh manager Don Kelly relies on Carmen Mlodzinski for the series opener despite recent struggles, with Mlodzinski allowing 14 hard hits on 25 batted ball events.
  • Tigers left-hander Framber Valdez opposes Mlodzinski in the opener, while Braxton Ashcraft and Paul Skenes start subsequent games after Ashcraft's historic complete-game victory on August 13.
  • Extra rest for Paul Skenes aims to help him regain form before the series finale, while the Pirates seek momentum and Detroit looks to rebound.
