The Detroit Tigers host the Cleveland Guardians in Game 3 of the ALDS on Wednesday, with the score tied at 1-1. The Tigers’ first home game in a decade will put Detroit or Cleveland one win away from reaching the ALCS in Game 4 on Thursday.

The Tigers decided to wait until the last minute to announce a starting pitcher for Game 3, ultimately landing on rookie right-hander Keider Montero to kick off. It will be Montero’s second appearance in this series, after pitching two innings and allowing no runs with three strikeouts in Game 1.

On the other side, the Guardians are rolling with veteran right-handed starter Alex Cobb, who is returning from a blister on his hand. He is 2-1 with a 2.76 ERA over 16⅓ innings in three starts on August 9, August 14 and September 1. Cobb was an All-Star in 2023 as a member of the San Francisco Giants and will make his third career postseason start.
