Eovaldi is seeking his first win with the Yankees after settling for a pair of no-decisions in his first two outings of the season, while Lobstein is coming off a victory over the Indians in his 2015 debut.

Three things to know about this game

? Lobstein is making his first start in nine days, having been pushed back while the Tigers waited to see how Justin Verlander fared in his simulated game last week in Pittsburgh. Verlander still felt discomfort, so Lobstein proceeded to get ready, throwing an extra bullpen session to stay sharp.

"Basically kind of what I did in Spring Training," Lobstein said. "A few of my starts were about nine days in between with the split-squad games. So I just applied the preparation that I did in the spring to this point."

? Eovaldi is 2-1 with a 2.96 ERA in eight career starts in April. But the 25-year-old right-hander is 0-5 with a 6.23 ERA over his last six road starts, the longest road losing streak of his career.

? Eovaldi is the first of three straight right-handed starters for the Yankees. If Victor Martinez is going to DH, he'll be batting left-handed, which puts more pressure on his balky left knee. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said the team has a plan for how to watch the wear and tear on Martinez, though he wouldn't specify how.


I saw there is a wind advisory until 8 pm tonight and it looks like a lot of rain in the area on the radar.
