Tigers

 The Red Sox won four of six games against the Tigers last season. Boston held Detroit to two total runs in its four wins while Detroit held Boston to two runs in the Sox' two losses. Three of the six games were shutouts, two by Boston and one by Detroit.

 The Tigers took two of three games from the White Sox in Detroit over the weekend. Shane Greene recorded a save in each win and he has now saved each of the Tigers' ten wins this season. Since saves became an official stat in 1969, no team has recorded a save its first 11 wins of a season.

 The Red Sox swept a three-game series with the Rays in Tampa over the weekend. Boston scored its winning runs in the 8th, 9th and 11th innings of the three games, listed in order by date. Eight of the Red Sox' nine wins this season have seen them score the winning runs in the seventh inning or later.

 Nicholas Castellanos led the Tigers with 23 home runs last season. He was the fifth different player to lead Detroit in home runs over the last five seasons. Three of those five are no longer on the team and the other two, Castellanos and Miguel Cabrera have yet to homer in 162 total plate appearances in 2019.

 Mookie Betts went 6-for-12 in the series with the Rays. He came into the series with six hits in his previous 11 games. Betts has just eight extra-base hits (four doubles and four HR) through 22 games this season. He had 16 extra-base hits (eight doubles and eight HR) in as many games to start last season.

 Matthew Boyd had his third straight quality start against the Pirates on April 16, a 7.0-inning outing with three earned runs and seven strikeouts. With his 36 strikeouts through four starts, Boyd has equaled Max Scherzer in 2013 and Hal Newhouser in 1943 for the most to start a season in Tigers' history.

Red Sox

Fresh off a sweep of the first-place Tampa Bay Rays, the Boston Red Sox finally seem as if they're close to putting their woeful start to the season behind them.
The key missing piece still: Chris Sale.

Sale seeks first win as surging Red Sox host Tigers

BOSTON (AP)  Boston right-hander Nathan Eovaldi is scheduled to have surgery to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow, an operation expected to sideline the pitcher for four-to-six weeks.
The Red Sox said Eovaldi will have surgery on Tuesday, when the team plays a day-night doubleheader against Detroit following the rainout of the opener of the four-game series.
