The Detroit Tigers wrap up their series with the New York Mets today. Detroit looks to avoid a sweep by the Mets after dropping the first two games. The Tigers have been outscored 22-13 in the series. Reports last night said that right-handed pitcher Chris Paddack, who moved to the bullpen, would go on the bereavement list. Today, the Tigers processed that move by recalling right-handed pitcher Keider Montero from Triple-A Toledo.
