Pitcher Chris Paddack, acquired Monday from the Minnesota Twins, threw six impressive innings and the Tigers offense again exploded in a 7-2 victory for a 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 Minnesota Twins’ sell-off is underway. The Twins traded pitchers Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for minor-league catcher Enrique Jimenez on Monday. Paddack is the first of several players the Twins are expected to deal over the next four days.
