The St. Louis Cardinals are in Detroit for a three-game interleague set against the Tigers, and the first game on Tuesday is probably the best one of the night in MLB baseball. Justin Verlander and Lance Lynn meet up in a clash of ace pitchers at 6:05 CT, so here is a look at the lineups that will go against each of them. Skip Schumaker has rejoined the team after being activated from the 15-day disabled list and he will play center field and bat eighth.
