The Detroit Tigers (74-53) and Houston Astros (69-56) play at 6:40 p.m. at Comerica Park.

Tigers ace lefty Tarik Skubal (11-3, 2.42 ERA) will face right-hander Hunter Brown (10-5, 2.45).

Catcher Jake Rogers; infielder Andy Ibanez; outfielder Jahmai Jones; and infielder/outfielder Javier Baez will be available off the bench. The full lineup is below.

Skubal had a shaky start and a strong finish in his last outing on Aug. 14 against the Twins. He allowed three runs in the third, including a solo homer by No. 9 hitter Edouard Julien, the first home run Skubal has allowed to a left-handed hitter all season.

Skubal’s first strikeout didn’t come until his 19th batter at the end of the fourth inning, and his first 1-2-3 inning
