The Los Angeles Dodgers play the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday in Game 2 of their series. The game starts at 1:08 p.m. ET. Listen to the live radio broadcast below.
Detroit easily took Tuesday's Game 1 with a 14-5 win. Although Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander giving up five runs in the first inning, Detroit found a way to bounce back and went on to score 14 unanswered runs.
"That first inning's tough, but as a starting pitcher, you have to have the ability to turn the page," Verlander told the Associated Press. "It's a nice feeling when you're able to go out there and keep your team in the game, when at other times, maybe when I was younger, it turns into a two-inning or three-inning and eight-run affair."
Verlander gave up only one hit after the first inning, and the Tigers' offense began their rally in the second inning with eight hits to tie the score.
"It shows what we're capable of," Tigers catcher Alex Avila said. "It's a good team win as far as being able to come back, and Justin going out there and throwing up zeros after the first inning. That was a very good win for us."
Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu allowed seven earned runs through 2 1/3 innings, beginning with the eight hits he gave up in the second inning.
"I felt like I really let my team down," he said through a translator. "We had five runs in the first inning off a great pitcher, and I gave the lead away. That's the worst part of tonight."
Zack Greinke (11-4, 2.66 ERA) starts Wednesday for Los Angeles. He's coming off Thursday's 3-2 win at Colorado, whom he limited to just one earned run while striking out eight batters.
Greinke will be opposed by Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer (10-3, 3.47), who's also coming off a win. He gave up just one earned run against Tampa Bay while delivering seven strikeouts in the Tigers' 8-1 win.
