Pitcher Chris Paddack, acquired Monday from the Minnesota Twins, threw six impressive innings and the Tigers offense once again exploded in a 7-2 victory, and three-game series sweep over Arizona. Paddack allowed one run on three hits, walked none and struck out five while helping extend the Tigers win streak to four games.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers optioned infielder Ryan Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo after he spent just one day on the active roster. Kreider did not play in Monday’s game and was essentially serving as a roster placeholder until newly acquired right-handed pitcher Chris Paddack could arrive in Detroit and join the team.

The Tigers traded with the Minnesota Twins for right-handed pitchers Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak on Monday.
