THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS: Every stellar pitching outing only makes Detroit Tigers’ offense more excructiating
Game notes: The Detroit Tigers cannot hit. The Detroit Tigers cannot score. The Detroit Tigers can, however, pitch. And the best of the bunch will be on the mound Friday as the team looks for some much-needed momentum.
The Tigers have now lost four straight series after falling in consecutive games to the putrid Miami Marlins while scoring zero, yes, zero runs over the final two games. Reese Olson, who’s still looking for his first win of the year despite sporting a crazy 2.09 ERA (barely below Skubal’s ERA, who already has five wins), kicked things off with another stellar performance. He held the Marlins scoreless through eight, Jason Foley got them through the ninth, but the extra base runner cost them in extra innings as they lost, 1-0.
Pain.
The next day presented a great opportunity for a bounceback. Casey Mize got off to a bad start, giving up two runs through the first two batters, but then held the Marlins scoreless the rest of the day, as did the bullpen. All the Tigers had to do was score three runs over 18 innings on Tuesday and Wednesday and they would’ve won both games. They did not score once.
Pain.
The Tigers need to hope for a return to the mean at this point, because even for a team that struggles at the plate, zero runs over 19 innings is diabolically bad.
If the Tigers’ bats spit in the face of the math and they stay ice cold, they have the best possible guy on the mound to still give them a chance to win. Skubal has been one of, if not the best pitcher in all of baseball, and compared to some of the other members of the Tigers’ pitching staff, he’s actually gotten some decent run support.
In the eight games that Skubal has started for the Tigers this year, the team averages 4.88 runs per game. If the Tigers could do that every game, they would have the sixth-best offense in baseball. When Olson pitches for the Tigers, which has also been eight times, the Tigers average 2.13 runs per game, which would easily be last in baseball.
Chalk it up to chance, small sample size or just the added confidence that the Tigers play with when Skubal is pitching, but whatever that juju is, the Tigers will need all of it as they try and snap a scoreless innings streak they seemingly can’t ditch.
After Friday night’s late showdown, the Tigers will play the Diamondbacks again on Saturday for another 9:40 p.m. start with Jack Flaherty on the mound.

LOS ANGELES — After tests on his sore elbow revealed no structural damage, Pavin Smith took batting practice and was declared ready to return to the Diamondbacks’ lineup.
Smith, who was a late scratch on Opening Day, was a late addition on Day 2. He will bat fifth and serve as the designated hitter, sending Tim Tawa to the bench.
Smith is a relatively important member of the Diamondbacks lineup as a potential impact hitter against right-handed pitching. Last year, he hit .265/.361/.456 with eight homers against righties in 226 at-bats.
Diamondbacks at Dodgers, 7:10 p.m., Cox, Ch. 34
Diamondbacks RHP Ryne Nelson (7-3, 3.39)* vs. Dodgers RHP Emmet Sheehan (6-3, 2.82)*.
At Dodger Stadium: Nelson opened last season in the bullpen but moved into the rotation full time after RHP Corbin Burnes went down with elbow surgery. He was impressive from that point on, putting up a 3.38 ERA across 20 starts from June 1 onward. … Nelson faced the Dodgers three times (two starts) last season, giving up four runs in 13 innings with one walk and 12 strikeouts. … Nelson has solid career numbers against most Dodgers hitters, including 3B Max Muncy, who is 0 for 8 with three walks and five strikeouts. … Sheehan, 26, a sixth-round pick out of Boston College in 2021, returned from Tommy John surgery last year and performed well, logging a 2.82 ERA in 73 1/3 innings. He also logged important innings for the Dodgers out of the bullpen in the postseason. … Sheehan has never faced the Diamondbacks. … Last season, he averaged 95.6 mph with his four-seam fastball. He also threw a slider and change-up with the occasional curveball.
Coming up
Saturday, March 28: At Los Angeles, 6:10 p.m., Diamondbacks LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (9-9, 5.02)* vs. Dodgers RHP Tyler Glasnow (4-3, 3.19)*.

Boats, beaches, and buckets of fun! Just the way you’d expect a boy to spend his Florida vacation!
But there was something else 11-year-old Miles Boyd got to do last year when he and his family traveled to Florida. It was a sea turtle adventure that truly became the trip of a lifetime.
“I had never been to the ocean before,” explained Miles. “So see that just wowed me. It was amazing!”
Miles and his family also got to see baby sea turtles on the beach at night.
“The ocean is so mysterious,” says Miles. “It’s such a big place, and the fact that these turtles can move but are so tiny and when they go in the ocean, they get to hundreds of pounds.”
In so many ways, the trip to Palm Beach County, Florida, was a dream vacation for Miles and his family, but it only came after what was a living nightmare.
“I couldn’t imagine losing him,” says Miles’ mom, Natasha.
It was the harsh reality that Natasha had to face after learning her son Miles had a cancerous brain tumor.
“The world just stopped,” Natasha says about the moment she found out the devastating news. “I just sat on the floor and cried.”
Even Miles admits he was scared.
“I’m just a kid, you know what I mean?” he says. “It’s a lot to handle all at once.”
After three brain surgeries, countless hours of therapy and rehab, and having to take a chemo medication twice daily, Miles proved to the world he is a true survivor!
And his trip to Florida, through Make-A-Wish Arizona, proved to be the medication he never knew he needed.
Miles explains that the trip motivated him to keep going.
“It showed me that I made it to this car, and I can keep going,” he says. “I started at the lowest of lows, and now, I’m on a beach – it just gave me confidence and motivated me that I could keep going.”
Last year alone, Make-A-Wish Arizona granted 476 wishes; they’ve also fulfilled more than 8,500 since being founded in 1980.
Across the Globe, Make-A-Wish has granted more than 650,000 wishes since 1980
Miles and Nick Ciletti will co-host Make-A-Wish Arizona’s Wish Ball on Saturday! To learn more about Make-A-Wish Arizona, click here.
