On Monday, the Detroit Tigers received their first day off in two weeks following a series loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Saturday's game was postponed, which led to a doubleheader on Sunday. The Tigers lost 5-3 in game one before winning 4-1 in the second game.

Starting pitcher Troy Melton made his season debut on Sunday. He pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed two hits, one earned run, three walks, and struck out three. Dillon Dingler's two-run homer in the top of the first put Detroit ahead, and Kevin McGonigle's two-RBI single added some insurance.

With the win, Detroit snapped an eight-game losing streak. The Tigers (21-33) will host the Los Angeles Angels (20-34), who are coming off a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers. Here is a rundown of Tuesday's game, including how to watch, pitching matchups, and injury updates.

Pitching Matchup

Angels: Jack Kochanowicz (2-3, 4.55 ERA) vs. Tigers: Keider Montero (2-3, 3.83 ERA)

Montero will be making his 10th start of the year on Tuesday. In his previous start against the Cleveland Guardians, he surrendered three earned runs on two hits over five innings. His main issue was command, as he walked four hitters and threw 85 pitches.

It's been a common theme for the righty as he's issued multiple walks in four of his last five outings. Luckily for Montero, the Angels rank 16th in total walks and lead the league in strikeouts. If there is an opportunity for a lengthy start from the 25-year-old, this would be it.

Like many of LA's starting pitchers, Kochanowicz has struggled this year. He's given his team at least six innings quite a bit, but those outings still aren't efficient. He's posted a 6.85 ERA in May with 11 walks and 17 strikeouts.
