Tigers vs Rockies Prediction 13 September 2026
📡 Detroit have already clinched the series, doing so in two completely different fashions. On Friday, the Tigers cruised to a comfortable 6-2 victory, while on Saturday they rallied from 4-7 down, exploding for seven runs in the eighth inning to win 11-7. Colorado have now dropped six straight games. The hosts will send Jackson Jobe to the mound to face Gabriel Hughes, who is still searching for his first win after seven decisions.

Head-to-head statistics Tigers - Rockies
Detroit Tigers Team Overview
The Tigers improve to 69-79 after racking up 18 hits on Saturday. Hao-Yu Lee reached base three times and drove in three runs, while Max Clark and Eduardo Valencia also collected three hits apiece. Even trailing by three runs in the eighth inning, Detroit kept stringing together quality at-bats and ultimately overwhelmed Colorado’s relievers. This is a much livelier Tigers offense than what we saw just a few weeks ago.
Match Results: Detroit Tigers
Colorado Rockies Team Overview
The Rockies drop to 55-93. Saturday should have been a rare win-they led 7-4 heading into the eighth inning, but the bullpen couldn’t hold even a three-run cushion. Hunter Goodman remains Colorado’s primary power threat, but the club’s issues extend far beyond the offense. The pitching staff consistently forces the lineup to chase seven or eight runs just to keep the game competitive.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Jackson Jobe gets the nod for the hosts-he’s 1-2 with a 4.45 ERA and 26 strikeouts. Since returning, Detroit have been carefully managing his workload. For this matchup, five solid innings from Jobe should be enough, given that the offense and bullpen have both provided a comfortable cushion against Colorado over the past two games.
Gabriel Hughes will take the mound for the visitors-he’s 0-7 with a 5.81 ERA and 48 strikeouts. This is the most significant mismatch in the starting rotation battle. Facing a Detroit lineup that just racked up 18 hits, Hughes could quickly find himself in trouble if runners get on base early, possibly leading to another big inning for the home side.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Colorado have dropped six straight and have already lost twice in Detroit. The head-to-head record is even more lopsided now- the Tigers have taken nine of the last ten meetings. Hughes is 0-7 with a 5.81 ERA and now faces a lineup that racked up 18 hits and seven runs in just the eighth inning last time out. Jobe doesn’t need to be perfect: given the Rockies’ current form and the state of their bullpen, Detroit have several paths to victory here. Back the Detroit Tigers to win.
