The Detroit Tigers came into the weekend riding a five-game losing streak, including a four-game sweep at the Minnesota Twins. On Sunday, with their ace on the mound, the team has a chance to complete their reversal of fortune by sweeping the Miami Marlins at home.

AJ Hinch’s squad took the first two games of the series, 2-0 and 6-1, respectively, but earning that third victory will not be easy. Sunday’s pitching matchup is a marquee one: twice-consecutive Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal takes the mound for the home team, while the 2022 Cy winner Sandy Alcantara is up opposite him.

Here is a look at how the two match up.
