Pitcher Chris Paddack, acquired Monday from the Minnesota Twins, threw six impressive innings and the Tigers offense once again exploded in a 7-2 victory, and three-game series sweep over Arizona. Paddack allowed one run on three hits, walked none and struck out five while helping extend the Tigers win streak to four games.

The Tigers look back to form, finally. After an absymal run of play where the team lost 12 of 13 games around the All-Star Break, the team, and its bats, have come alive. Following a huge win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, the Tigers have picked up a couple of sizeable wins to start off this series with the Diamondbacks.

Not sure which team Eugenio Suárez will be playing for, but the Tigers host the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Trade rumors have Arizona’s Suárez heading to Detroit. Maybe during the seventh inning stretch. Disappointing season thus far for the Snakes. But Brandon Pfaadt hasn’t been the problem. Pfaadt has allowed four runs in his past 21 ¹/₃ innings.

The Arizona Diamondbacks announced before Tuesday night’s game against the Tigers that the results of both a CT scan and an MRI showed no structural damage in Eugenio Suarez’s right hand. He was not in the lineup Tuesday but is not expected to need an IL stint.
